Prayer?

[fezzyfestoon]

Even despite my reviling of most immaterial religious gestures of good will, I can understand the power of prayer. It gives people a sense that they're not alone in whatever it is they're trying to overcome. Support and positivity can be powerful tools. No, it's not going to cure someone's diseases or solve their problems, but it can give them the will to continue and a mental state more conducive to success.
