Yep. It's like telling yourself you're going to believe in something and hoping you saying it will make it true. I think it'll be beneficial for him to explore options though. I think trials like that make a person's faith stronger or will turn them away from religion completely. Either way, I hope they get an answer that'll put them at peace.
