Some may not have MI's (them or their families) simply due to obedience to scripture and seeking the Lord through all things <strong>(good and bad)</strong>. Christ will take care of His children (<a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Corinthians+6%3A11" rel="nofollow">1 Cor 6:11 (ESV)</a>, <a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Corinthians+6:9-11" rel="nofollow">1 Cor 6:9-11 (ESV)</a> for complete context) washing, sanctifying and justifying us in His grace and walk with Him. So one should expect to see fewer MI's in a Christian body that embraces God's teaching above all. I cannot wait to experience that fruit firsthand. At this point my wife is improving through her faith and love of our Lord, but she's not finished, and He is not either. Please pray for her and my daughters, and pray for this discussion thread that we could be in unity and have **real** discussions - they are far better than arguments.

First off, our 'family' includes all Christians, so in a very broad sense we have literally millions of possible 'family members' with Mental Illness. Additionally, my awesome wife and wonderful daughters also have a neat little laundry list of MI's between the 3 of them that we are seeking to Lord for. My wife has been seeing professionals for over 20 years and since I've come to the Lord I am waiting with great anticipation to see him move in their lives in this respect. When the Lord moves, its done, Game Over. When Psychiatrists do the moving? "See you again same time next week." I love my family and I prefer the permanent solution and I also would like to honor God. Even if I disagreed with the Creator of All, the One True God (scary thought) in this respect I would still move in this direction, and according to his word (<a href="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=James+1:22-25" rel="nofollow">James 1:22-25 ESV</a>).

Thank you for posting and for making us aware of what 'those who are far from God' think and perceive regarding this topic. I hope you take time to read through the resources in the article above and I would be willing to field any questions about what it means to be a Christian with you anytime. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you.
