    Well, I've heard a lot of people say that they usually feel really relaxed when they pray or go to church. I guess, it's the feeling of a personal connection with God that makes them feel really happy and safe.

    It's nice to know that when we die we won't just die, but there is something more.

    It's nice to know that whatever can happen to you. you always have Him as your rock.

    Jesus loves you

    It cures the disease of the heart





    And it allows us to become free through knowing our truth and purpose.


    "I am a traveler seeking the Truth, a human searching for the meaning of humanity, and a citizen seeking dignity, freedom, stability and welfare under the shade of Islam. I am a free man who is aware of the purpose of his existence and calls, truly, my prayer and my sacrifice, my life and my death, are all for Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds; He has no partner. This I am commanded and I am among those who submit to His Will. This is who I am. Who are you?" - Hasan Al-Banna.

    Islam helps us in countless ways.

    All the best on your search.

    I would say it gives you time to reflect and slow down a bit and realise the our problems, although seemingly significant right now, are not in the bigger picture.

    Because I know my Gods provide me with comfort, purpose and control of my daily affairs: such as ensuring a good crop, a victory in war, help in a crisis or any other worthwhile purpose. I pray to Nut for daily support; Nephthys gives me comfort when loved ones pass away; and Amun Ra watches over me always

    Are you a christian? I am and whenever I feel like the end of the world I pray and things will look up eventually! I've experienced the worst of my life and have thought about stop believing in God. Whenever this happens some one is always by my side to encourage and walk through this with me. I realised I should stop groaning instead to wait and see how God turns bad things into good things for me. I hope you restore your faith and relationship with God soon. Best of luck!

    1. you're learning importance and impact of Faith as well as what it is to doubt. both may bring to a greater understanding of the other. as in, sadness allows us understand happiness. sorrow to joy.

    2. why do you feel crappy?

    3. study. more you look into things about your Faith, more you learn as to what it is exactly.

    For me, religion has cooled my head and brought a better understanding about the world.

    however, you may not want to ask about 'religion' as this is a group of people. people are flawed and an individual may not represent the group. also, these 'religions' may not share experience you are open to having or have the possibility to experiencing.

    could you be more specific to what religion you are apart?
