Although I have practiced my faith even before, I found an even deeper connection with God when my sitch happened. And did it help! For one thing, prayer and meditation brings us back to thinking of what our core values really are, what it means to be good, and at a time when you are angry, confused, wanting to lash out, you lose sight of those and tend to want revenge, lose respect for the other person .....etc. all the things which if you do you would actually regret.

All of that also brings you to a place of peace and aceptance and clarity of thought.

Lastly, I have seen that when it is too much for me, things I ask, even if they are impossible, do seem to be granted, although sometimes not at first. I have seen that in many situations, God works in mysterious ways, and what you originally think happened not to your liking ends up with a purpose, which in retrospect, may be due to divine intervention. I learned to listen, to ask for his guidance, especially in times of doubt, and sometimes through insight, or just a thought, the answers come. Then the test of whether the answer was right ..... going forward, looking back, I have found many times that it was the right one!
