God is not Prozac
Here’s an approach that
Might make you look back
And ask yourself “How’s that?”
God is not Prozac
He is sufficient and he is proficient
And He knows how to heal you
But in order for him to do that
First he has to feel you
Why would he create you and not care for your mental health?
But in order for you to feel him, first you have to be able to feel yourself
We don’t need to mask our human abilities with medication
Our mind with its feelings wasn’t given to us so we can disguise it
We need to spend more time in prayer and meditation
And try to free our scary skeletons from their hidden closet
We have chemical imbalances due to hormones and emotions
And the toxins we ingest unbalance us even more
We’re lost in pills the size of vast oceans
It’s time we stop skimming the surface and get to the core*
We’re given all this advice but the best is brushed aside
Like mules with blinders trying to plow a straight line
Letting God be our psychiatrist and letting him be our guide
Is the greatest therapy for freeing the mind
We spend countless hours in appointments
But don’t delve to the root of the problem
But continue with our anxiety on the spinning wheel of disappointment
Instead of letting God solve them
I do understand at times there’s a short necessity
Which has been stretched over a lifetime by corruption and greed
I don’t understand it’s just a guess to me
Why we don’t want everyone to be mentally freed
Our solutions are within ourselves in
Our ability to reach out to others and God
Our ability to talk to others and God
Our ability to share ourselves, ALL of ourselves (to the core*) with others and God
Our ability to love ourselves
