Secondly, prayer can help people gain clarity and focus, allowing them to make better decisions and cope with stress. Consider this prayer:
"Father, I know You're with me in this disappointment, in this discouragement. I know You're with me. Secondly, Father, I know that You're in control of my life. You know all about what's going on and You have power to change anything You choose. Father, I know that You're gonna turn this for good. You know my pain, my hurt, what I'm feeling. I know You're going to turn this for good. And I'm looking to see how You turn this for good."
Thirdly, the act of praying can promote feelings of gratitude and humility, which can have positive effects on one's mental and emotional well-being. Staying in the Word, the Holy Spirit will remind you of the scripture:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” I'm reminded of whom I trusted and the many, many times I've been taken through the problems of life.
