Don't Let Your Spirit be Disabled

What carries us when the body is weak? We explore the surprising strength of the mind—our spirit—and how it can sustain us through illness, fear, and long nights of uncertainty. Rooted in a simple framework of who we are—body, spirit, and soul—we talk candidly about caring for each part with wisdom, compassion, and faith.
We start by grounding the conversation in everyday realities: the body is fragile and deserves real care. Sleep, nourishment, exercise, doctor visits, and the right supplements matter because our bodies are finite and made from dust. From there, we move into the inner world, describing the spirit as the mind—our thoughts, focus, and willingness to stand firm when circumstances shake us. Drawing on Proverbs 18:14, we reflect on why some people endure the same diagnosis with greater steadiness: a healthy spirit becomes the beam that holds the roof when storms hit.

states the spirit of a man or the mind of a man will sustain
him in sickness. But who can bear a broken spirit

spirit that becomes weak before a disease.
