I think your preacher is trying to reassure you that it is normal, and okay, for people to be on disability because of a mental illness. It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's not something you did wrong.
If you feel uncomfortable taking disability, then do what you can to survive without it. But don't feel like you are a failure if you can't. Mental Illness can be just as crippling as a car accident. It's not your fault.
