Nothing, because life is like an AC electrical current. It is full of ups and downs, its just where your centerline is that matters to whether you are having a greater amount off good or bad experiences. Praying won't make things any better, but it may give you the positive outlook you need to get through it then it serves the same means. Staying positive even when bad things happen is always for the best, I try to find something funny even out of the worst situations. It doesn't fix the problem, just takes the edge off a little.
