I really hate being 'that guy' but... Prayer is a way to think you are helping without having to do anything.

Here is your power of prayer: The Global Consciousness Project. The [un]conciousness of millions can move a needle on a random number generator. You are asking a small number of people to influence a chain of events to steer it in your direction. Ecomodder doesn't have the reach, try... (I can't believe I'm saying this) try Facespook.

If it were terminal illness you might get more sympathy. When it happened to me (three years total) I went in and sat on the bed and lit a joint and listened to Freddy Fender sing "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights".

Here's my best suggestion: as I used to tell my son "Nobody else can make you happy, only you can make you happy." If you look for validation, they will stab you in the back every time (I know, I know...). Look inside yourself 'cause that's where Jesus is. Maybe you can find something in Jordan Peterson
