It is also scientifically proven that praying helps in difficult times.
Prayer helps the one that is praying - it does nothing for the person you are praying for.
I'd love to see this scientific proof I can go and test myself.
I wouldn't agree with you about "prayer helps the one that is praying" because I was in such a situation that I prayed for others and it really helped them.
Here is the scientific proof you have requested under the heading "the power of prayer"
"There are several skills that help us, whether in need or in want; one is prayer.
Just saying a prayer, especially if it is done as a mere formality, out of habit or out of desperation, is of no use except that instead of spending that time in black thoughts, we focus our thoughts on something positive and thus create a positive atmosphere.
But if we pray properly, that is, if prayer is filled with emotion, then it has the power to accomplish even miracles."
Here you can explore how to get solutions in a number of situations, it might help you.
Prayer is one form of service to God (Luke 2:37) and
means of obtaining solutions in many situations:
- Preparing for Big Decisions (Luke 6: 12-13)
- Overcoming the obstacles in life (Matthew 17: 21-21)
- Gaining strength so that we do not fall into temptation (Matthew 26:41)
- A way to spiritually encourage other people (Ephesians 6: 18-19)
- Healing (James 5: 13-16)
Prayer is attention; paying attention to God.
"Prayer is a conversation with God in which, with seeking and comfort, we express our gratitude, faith, confidence, humility and reverence.
"To pray is not to seek. Prayer is union with God - it is a conversation with God." - Sundar Singh
"Prayer is more than just talking to God. Prayer is an opening (to) God, an encounter with God, an encounter that happens on every imaginable level. ”- John Wesley
Prayer is not about informing God about our needs because God knows what we need and better than ourselves.
We pray that we show God that we believe in Him and believe that He will respond and bless our lives.
Prayer is the key that opens the door and provides access to well-being and / or blessedness.
To pray is to allow God to enter our hearts.
