Spiritual guidance powered by AI and grounded in Scripture
Your Question:
What if I can't afford my medication and I'm getting worse?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your struggles with depression. I want you to know that I'm here to offer guidance, not judgment. If you're finding it difficult to afford your medication and feeling worse, I would encourage you to talk with your physician. Discuss a change in treatment or explore alternative options that might be more affordable for you. It's essential to find a solution that works for your situation. As someone who's studied the Bible and the human condition, I want to remind you that depression is not just a chemical imbalance, but a form of suffering that affects the heart and soul. It's essential to look beyond just medication and consider other factors that might be contributing to your experience of depression. This could include spiritual, emotional, or relational issues that need attention. As the Bible says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:14-15). In times of crisis, it's natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. But I want to encourage you to pray first, and then seek medical help. As Christians, we have a responsibility to put on the whole armor of God and resist the devil (Ephesians 6:11). This means acknowledging our limitations and recognizing that we can't self-save. We need help, power, and guidance from a higher source. Don't be afraid to reach out to your church community or a trusted pastor for support and guidance.
