Praying helps. Praying is a mediaeval, prescientific form of therapy. Talking out your day, and your feelings, to someone who will listen. That works just as well with a family member, a supposed god, or my imaginary friend Bill.
And given that therapy costs money and many people are poor, prayer is an appropriate self-medication option for many people who need to talk to someone about their feelings. It’s even an appropriate option for people who see a therapist but not as often as they’d like.
Now this is all beside the benefits prayer has if you’re trying to create or empower an egregore, of course.
How about just getting a job and saving up for one?
How about buying a beater until you can afford something better?
Sounds like she needs to go somewhere and pray to God for a better brain. (As if any kind of praying helps…)
