Your Question:
why do i feel so helpless when faced with medical bills?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling helpless when faced with medical bills. My wife Susan and I have been fortunate enough to have good health insurance, but I've seen many people in our community struggle with medical expenses. As a pastor, I've had to counsel many individuals who are overwhelmed by the financial burden of medical bills. It's a heavy weight to bear, and it's easy to feel powerless. When faced with a crisis like this, it's essential to remember that our emotions are not a reflection of our will. We can choose to trust God and accept the consequences of our situation, even when it seems impossible to solve. As the passage says, "Tell God you are ready to be offered as a sacrifice for Him. Then accept the consequences as they come, without any complaints, in spite of what God may send your way." This is a difficult but crucial step in trusting God and finding peace in the midst of hardship. As I reflect on my own experiences and those of others, I've come to realize that feeling helpless is often a result of trying to solve the problem on our own. We try to "wire-wiggle" and "engine-star" our way out of the crisis, but ultimately, we need to acknowledge our limitations and seek help. Just as a car needs a mechanic to diagnose and repair it, we need God's guidance and support to navigate difficult situations. By trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, we can find peace and hope even in the midst of medical crises.
