"Labels Let Us Ignore Possible Causes of Our Condition."

"...A friend of mine was initially relieved when she got a diagnosis of “anxiety disorder” because it explained to her why she experienced panic attacks. Yet, her medical label began to cause a conflict in her heart about what she believed about God. Unwilling to resign herself to that label, she began to ask God if that disorder is what He wanted for His precious child. She then realized that, according to Philippians 4:6-7, God wants her to be anxious for nothing, and to pray about everything with thanksgiving, and allow His peace to penetrate and guard her heart and mind. She took a Scriptural treatment to her problem by living out that passage of Scripture and thereby was able to get at the root of her anxiety disorder—she had not been trusting God, through prayer, but taking on the burden of anxiety instead. Be willing to ask God if your diagnosis is His best for you or the result of believing something about Him that isn’t true. ..." From 5 Reasons We’re So Obsessed with Labels and Identities
