Does Faith Help with Stress Management?

[Lolita]

People often turn to prayer, rituals, or religious community when overwhelmed. Does faith truly reduce stress, or does it simply provide temporary emotional comfort? How has spirituality shaped your ability to cope with pressure?

Faith can help with stress management by providing a sense of purpose, hope, and support. Belief in something larger than yourself can reduce anxiety about uncertainty. Practices like prayer, meditation, or attending community gatherings also offer calm, structure, and connection, which ease mental and emotional tension.

My father was cured from depression through faith healing. I have tied faith for stress management. Belief in God gives you strength, it gives you motivation, it gives you hope, and if you have strength, hope, and motivation, stress management becomes easy.
