You are right on the bull's eye in correcting others' remark about putting yourself in His hand. If there is even a trace of validity of relying only on one's faith, there is no need for medical profession at all. It is too simplistic to say that God will take care of everything. Snap back at those who made these remarks, asking whether they ever needed any medication at all. I knew some sect of religious fanatic refuses to accept any medical treatment. I watch the woman died so unnecessarily from an illness easily curable by modern medicine. The world is full of lunatics whom we should carefully stay away.
