Hi @em1954, I see that this is your first post on Mayo Clinic Connect. Thus I offer a gentle reminder that Connect is an inclusive and welcoming community where members can share health experiences. While some members may find comfort and healing in prayer and religion, it is important to note that some may not or may hold different faith beliefs. Thus our Community Guidelines state https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/community-guidelines/
“Remain respectful at all times.
- Exercise tolerance and respect toward other participants whose views may differ from your own. Disagreements are fine, but mutual respect is a must.
- Be inclusive. Not everyone shares the same religious or political beliefs. Don't impose your beliefs on others.”

Em, do you also live with depression and/or anxiety?
