Bible Question: If life is full of stress, Is it wrong to take nerve pills. I was told you should trust God to take care of things and not doubt and taking nerve pills would be a form of doubt? Anyone wish to comment? |
Bible Answer: Md1234: Question: Is it wrong to take nerve pills? My answer: Christians are not exempt from diseases and disorders such as the flu, cancer, heart trouble, or diabetes. Are we somehow magically exempt from depression and anxiety and their consequences? For example, many Christians, including some pastors, have little knowledge and absolutely no understanding of clinical depression. (Although your question is not about depression, allow me to use depression as an example.) Some try to label depression as a sin. Or they say that if you had enough faith, you could be healed. To this I reply: no responsible person would tell a diabetic to have faith and quit taking his insulin, would he? In the same way, it would be very foolish and irresponsible to counsel a person being treated for depression to stop taking his prescription medications. Depression, left untreated, often leads to suicide. So my answer, based on the Bible and reason, is that no, it is not wrong to take nerve pills prescribed by a licensed physician. Grace to you, Kalos |
