Re: Does praying really help?
Praying helps emotionally but it doesn't solve anything, i.e. any problem you have at that moment. It makes you passive doesn't it, when you ask god to take care of the problem? Even if you cry, purge, feel better, what does that solve? I guess maybe it gives us serenity and the courage to accept that problems are there, because we all always have them. I don't know. It's tempting - how rare is that, I am actually tempted by a good deed!
