prayer: has it worked for you?

Tweet

i was in a deep pit of frustration the last two weeks with how life has turned out for me, and honestly, i have almost given up on believing that it could still go back the way it used to be, when problems seem solvable, when all seemed real. i am not a religious person, but after days of refusing to ask for help, i turned to God and prayed. one night, me and my husband were talking and i was crying, and i asked him out of the blue if he wanted to pray with me and he said yes. from that moment on, i felt like the burden of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. even though actual help came a few days later, that night i felt like a different person. it was not a total transformation, like a miracle that i suddenly became religious and wanted to go to church every sunday (FYI: i don't go to church), but it was a blessed feeling of relief, something i have not felt for a long time. so i guess prayers have worked for me. has it worked for you?
