There are tremendous mental health benefits to prayer. Prayer can help bring a sense of calm to your mind, lift your mood, change your attitude, and ease your level of stress. The world is filled with lots of things that can make us feel stressed, worried, anxious, and depressed; prayer helps us to feel more peaceful in the moment and more in control of our inner world. Prayer fosters a sense of mindfulness, where we can anchor ourselves in the present moment, instead of worrying about a future that we cannot control or dwelling on the past that we do not have the capacity to change. Prayer helps us to become more aware of the desires of our heart which in turn inspires us to expand our vision for our lives and find greater meaning, and purpose. Prayer can help you create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere both at home and at work. Prayer can help you release pent-up emotions and channel anger constructively. Prayer can help you live by a higher set of values that foster: kindness, generosity, gratitude, integrity, compassion, and patience. Prayer enables you to mentally regroup for those times in your life when you need to take a moment to shift gears or re-think a decision that merits deeper thought. These are just a few of the many ways that prayer helps to facilitate positive mental wellbeing.
The power of praying when you feel stressed or overwhelmed is this: ...Prayer allows you to mentally lay down your burdens for a while and find moments of respite when you feel weary, or overwhelmed so that you can de-stress, refresh your mind, recuperate your inner strength, tap into your internal resources, and persevere through tough times.
