Science Recognises The Power Of Prayer (1)

Thu, 21 Jul 2022

‘Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.’ Philippians 4:6

God’s Word clearly tells us to ‘pray about everything.’ Today, science is beginning to recognise the value and the power of prayer. Researchers investigating the role of faith in health are discovering evidence that’s hard to refute. For example, a 2014 study conducted by The Mind Health Report confirmed that people who engage in private prayer, intercessory prayer, and church activities are healthier and live longer. Here are some additional benefits:

(1) Florida State University researchers found that praying for somebody increases your readiness to forgive them. When a group of men and women prayed for the well-being of a close friend every day for four weeks, they were more willing to forgive not only the friend but people in general. Forgiveness is associated with better overall health and satisfaction with life.

(2) University of Miami researchers discovered that prayer and religious practices improve your ability to pursue and achieve long-term goals. Prayer affects regions in your brain that improve self-control, and people who view their goals as sacred are more determined to attain them.

(3) A research study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison concluded that victims of abusive relationships recovered a positive self-image and reduced their emotional pain when their lives included prayer.

(4) Columbia University researchers found that people who value religion and regularly attend church are 90 per cent less likely to suffer from depression than their non-religious peers.

That’s pretty strong evidence in favour of prayer, wouldn’t you say?

Stop spreading fake news I read God Delusion by Richard Dawkins he talk about an experiment that was carried to know if prayer can help the sick recover
And it turns out people t wasn't prayed for for did very well to recover more than the ones that was prayed for the research was cancelled never made it outside to the public.

Did you know the every year scientists are paid handsomely by the Christian organisation if the talk something positive about religion

Religion is world greatest scam
I'm not done with the book but it has really opened my eyes when it comes to religion

So, prayer is about soothing feelings one can acquire even from delusion? This is evidence in favor of prayer.

Can we have the links to those studies, please?
