I have heard a sermon or two on the idea that one should solely depend on God. These sermons make me so mad because I remember times where my moods just don't seem to be changeable without seeking out help from a good counselor. I think that God can work through a good counselor and drugs. I hurt for the people that are hurt by these kinds of teachings. I just wish people better understood that sometimes a person can't just bounce back or as a speaker that I had to watch a video of at work says "choose to be happy." I found myself grousing to my co-workers that a person can't really choose their emotions. I didn't explain my reasons for feeling that way though.
