Spirituality: Why You Need to Include God in Your Health

Time to Transform with Dr Deepa Grandon

Taking care of our bodies and minds is critical to our health, but it’s not enough. If we want total healing and wellness, we have to include our spiritual health and a meaningful relationship with God.

As a physician, I believe that there’s a level of healing you can’t achieve by exercising and eating right. Some healing can only come from the Lord, and the more we connect with Him, the easier it is to achieve wellness.

In medicine we have diagnostic tests to determine if a person’s physical body is well. Our spirits are the same. How do we gauge the health of our spiritual beings? How do we build our relationship with God? In this episode, I talk about why spirituality is a crucial pillar in our healing and how we can strengthen it.

While studying to become a doctor, I recognized that the healing I was providing my patients was superficial. Spirituality is an essential element for total and complete healing. -Dr. Deepa Grandon

Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-You can’t do it alone

The fruits of the spirit and spiritual wellness aren’t things we can accomplish in our own power. Why is surrender and recognizing our helplessness such an important aspect of spirituality?

-Remaining strong in faith in the face of adversity

Peace isn’t a lack of disturbances. Joy doesn’t mean we don’t have difficulties. How do we endure ongoing hardship while still manifesting the other fruits of the spirit in anticipation of future relief from God?

-Health beyond the physical realm

In the realm of physical health, we are able to diagnose ailments. How do we do the same for our spirit?
