Faith Helped Me Through It?
I have always wondered this, how does Faith Helped Me Through It? With the recent shootings and I’m hearing that a lot again during these kinds of tragedies I have always wondered. I can see that like minded people of faith comforting each other but where does the faith part come into it?

Faith helps the survivors only.
its odd what we mean to say when we say that{or a lot of us} is that faith in god made GOD help us through sumthing. when actually faith gives one the ability to help themselves by believing in an improbable hope for the future or present {compared to ones initial interpretation of the predicament} with which they can concentrate on more positive things then are present at the time. n if they survive the predicament, they can THEN say, faith helped me through it.{oddly enough no1 actually says faith is HELPING ME THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW, its normal always, FAITH HELPED ME THROUGH IT} its just helping urself and not giving up for a non existing reason.

Well that is a given, I'm talking about the people not directly involved but those around the tragedy.

I believe one makes a choice, however subtle and subconscious the actual choosing process may be. You either choose to stay in pain, (eg, "I'll never get over this as long as I live!"😉, or you choose to recover, in which case, believing in something bigger than yourself gives a long-term perspective over one's immediate suffering.
I am so envious. That is what I was trying to say. It sucks to be me sometimes. 😆

People also find comfort with a rabbit's foot, or a lucky stone. Belief is the ultimate drug.
People cna magically provide answers to questions they have...namely the "why" question.
Really, if it helps them get over it, more power to them, but I really think there are healthier, more fulfilling ways to address the question.
