Prayer calms and comforts, reduces stress and anger, improves self-control, directs focus, promotes forgiveness, gives a sense that someone is in control, and provides hope for solving problems. When a group prays together, a sense of unity is promoted. Prayer also gives a sense of accomplishment, doing something to help.
Some believe prayer is a direct communication to a higher power who provides guidance, help, and miracles. Some believe meditation can provide similar benefits of prayer without the religious connotations.
Find quiet time to communicate with yourself. Realize your own needs and be sensitive to the needs of others. Keep your mind open to help from various sources.
