Did you know it has been found that 12 minutes of daily focused prayer over an 8 week period can change the brain to such an extent that it can be measured on a brain scan? How great is our Father who has given us the gift of prayer! Here are four other ways prayer impacts your brain:
Heightens learning ability and creative problem-solving
Enhances serotonin levels which in turn elevates your mood as well as affect memory, learning, sleep and vision.
Causes the area of the brain that deals with anger to become less active, which in turn increases compassion for others.
Enhances the neural functioning of the brain in ways that improve physical and emotional health.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
