Thank you for this deep reflection on the true power of blessings and our temptation to bend them to cultural ideologies.
The idea that God's blessings are a crutch is lementably common. However, recently Dan Burke re-told how when his dad used the "your faith is a crutch" argument Dan's response was: "no, it's much worse than that, it is a stretcher, it carries me". Like you say, the true power of God's blessing is life from death, we are all dead without Jesus, yet we close our eyes to this truth. Perhaps it is both too awful to grasp that one is in fact dead and too awesome to believe the fullness of life is possible...that is, until you experience it.
James Parker from True Identity has a remarkable testimony that highlights that gener disorders come from lies (abuse and neglect) about who we are that are opposed to our true identity in God. I don't think God will accept blessings placed upon lies.
