Actually belief in all most anything could help if you engaged in an approach to the answer by letting go and being open to help. Which indicates that it's not a deity doing the work but yourself. An example Reentry programs to help people coming out of prison under the Bush Administration were faith based, then other people began to demand services for other denominations and then eventually they developed a secular program. They all worked the same!!

I love reading the Psalms. There is at least one for every human emotion. Psalm 23 is one of the most popular and one of the best: The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me; you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; your rod and staff give me courage. You set a table before me as my enemies watch; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and love will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the LORD for years to come. With love in Christ.
