Prayer, often characterized by its inclusive and universal approach to spirituality, can support personal growth, mental health, and success in various ways. While it may not be tied to a specific religious tradition, it can still provide numerous benefits including self-reflection, stress reduction, connection, purpose, increased resilience, and gratitude.
Both science and spirituality are fundamental aspects of the human experience. For many, prayer helps instill a sense of purpose and direction in life. It can provide motivation and a sense of fulfillment by aligning one's actions with their spiritual values.
Personally, prayer has helped me in numerous ways - from my relationships to my belief in myself, my self-confidence, sobriety, and resilience. I am grateful for the many spiritual teachers who have demonstrated many forms of prayer so that I have been able to really commit to prayer in a way that resonates deeply.
