Prayer can be powerful in managing your fears and anxieties. There are countless numbers of people who have experience­d the power of prayer in their lives.

Here are some reasons why prayer can be effective in managing your anxieties, fears, and stresses.

1. You are tapping into the power of God when you pray: God is stronger than your fears and anxieties and prayer is the connection to the power of

God. A simple prayer can do wonders in managing your mental health issues.

2. Asking God for help is a great way to manage your fears and anxieties: When you pray, you’re asking God to help you manage your fears. God is the most powerful person in the universe and He’s willing to help you if you ask. Prayer is the way to do this.

3. Prayer works: There are many inspiratio­nal magazines and books on how people were helped through the power of prayer. Read some articles to get an idea on how effective prayer can be in your life. Never doubt the power of

God.

4. Prayer gives you hope: Prayer helps you believe there’s hope in getting through life’s difficult situations. Praying helps you believe God will help shoulder your burdens instead of dealing with your stresses and anxieties all by yourself.

5. You can pray anywhere you want: You can pray at church or pray when you’re at home. It doesn’t matter where you’re located. The important thing is you’re using the power of prayer to help overcome your mental health issues.

6. God’s ways are mysterious: When you pray to God, it may take a short time to get your prayers answered. God works in mysterious ways and you don’t know how your prayers will be answered. The next time you feel anxious or fearful, say a simple prayer to God. God is listening and He will help you.
