Then again...
Speaking of pulling yourself together. Prayer may be helpful psychologically. In a panic situation your instincts (emotional brain) take charge and suppresses your cognition to a degree...presumably to make you take historically proven action quickly rather than risking delay due to analysis paralysis, or something like that. It may be that praying is akin to meditation in this circumstance and may calm down your emotional response and enable some clearer thinking.

IOW when you pray to God you might actually be praying to yourself to calm down a tad and come up with a new course of action. Praying for "inspiration from God" but not really from getting it from a god. Like you might think better if you had another person with you.

Our minds are highly emotional. Who designed this thing? Tongue
