Prayer as Medicine for the Soul

Prayer is more than words—it is an act of surrender, trust, and connection with God. Research shows that prayer and meditation lower stress hormones like cortisol, reduce anxiety symptoms, and promote calm. But beyond science, prayer heals us because it connects us to the Great Physician.

When we bring our burdens before the Lord, we are not just calming our nervous system—we are casting our cares upon the One who promises to carry them (1 Peter 5:7).

Prayer invites peace in chaos, clarity in confusion, and hope in hopelessness. It reminds us that we are never alone.
