Mental illness is not a joke.
You cannot pray this away.
One can't just "snap out of it" on command.
But some of her followers disagreed and said she shouldn't underestimate the power of prayer.
One person said prayer had worked and said the actress should not discredit prayer to "make a point."
Florence replied with information on depression helplines and said threw some shade on the side.
I CAN actually Pray it away overtime. Its possible. Dont underestimate thé power of prayer to make a point. https://t.co/rT2m71PVQb
