Pray to a "higher good" or God, or whatever, but it helps.

always praying for others in my support group...and praying to God that the pain pum helps me

Its working for me. I suppose more than prayer its been about practicing gratitude which takes my attention off my pain. I keep vigilant over my faith and one some days faith is slim. However I keep a mustard seed in a little glass jar and when things seem so terribly bleak I look at it and ask if I have faith in me even of that size. Mostly I can answer yes. On the days I cant I forgive myself and just ride it out. Clarity always returns.

We talk often.

Saves me daily.

God is my life literally – He is why I am here on earth. He wants me to stay here and learn to talk with Him as Adam did in the Garden; He wants me to stay here to do what He has called me to do: write; and He wants me to stay here and encourage 2 million people (He actually said 6 million but I only have faith to reach 2). Sometimes my meditation time with Him is like praying to a brick wall, other times – He is there and we hang out together. Either way my anxiety decreases but I feel that there are root causes in my having anxiety that need cleaning or clearing up so my Anxiety at this time does not cease.

I think prayer is such a saving grace for me....keeps my sanity

Daily meditation since 1990 Does help

I have said prayers on occasion. Maybe I should do it more often.

My Heavenly Father is with me through this and He will care for me and guide me and love me through it.
