There are people who find the medical establishment to be a hindrance to our good health and happiness. People who use the healthcare system use it only when needed and has a benefit to their health. As it turns out many natural alternatives, help people with mental health issues far better and more financially effectively than use of pharmacy drugs and healthcare establishments.
Oftentimes mental health becomes problematic when there are conflicts. If we think that we can have control over other people's minds and emotions, even if they hate us, our mental health state starts to struggle. We often want other people to do things and think things our way because 1. Its more convenient for us 2. That's the traditional way of thinking our previous generations taught us and have always been right 3. It violates what we believe the bible says is right and wrong.
Think clearly for a little bit. Why do WE expect the world to do what JESUS wanted us to do when we couldn't do it on our own terms and in our own strength? Do we want the world to do things our way now that we are "Christian"? The world-system does not believe the gospel........ at all.... Bible says "1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." So, why approve of the "thinking patterns" from this world? There is no point. If we expect the world to think the "proper Christian way" then we are becoming self-centered!
If you are inconvenienced by the patterns of this world, or even patterns of worldly thinking that show up in your family and home, you are letting your mind be controlled by the patterns of this world. Temptation to get angry starts to brew. Temptation to get depressed and discouraged that Jesus left us with nothing starts to brew. Loneliness seems to be the only option. So do NOT be discouraged by "worldly thinking patterns." The only reason we become upset is because we believe we have a right to make everything go our way! As a result, bad thinking patterns start to develop. We must purposefully set our mind on things that are NOT patterned by this world!
Keep in mind that the bible has a SOLUTION to bad thinking patterns from this world. Try meditation on 5 Psalms and 1 Proverb chapter each day according to the day of the month. Suddenly, the "worldly thinking patterns," even if they are found within your family and even spouse, will NOT cause you inconvenience. You will find freedom to establish GODLY thinking patterns. Unrealistic expectations for your loved ones and for others will cease by the power of the word alone! Down-to-earth realistic thinking patterns will replace what are lies of this world.
The bible itself clearly says that the ungodly of this world have "Wicked thinking patterns"......they lay snares, develop insults, speak terrible things, imagine wicked things and so forth......
Psalm 38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
