SCIENCE ACKNOWLEDGES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PRAYER.
TEXT: Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
As a child, I was usually quiet and indoors. But the main reason was that I had many unanswered questions in my head that no one could answer. Probably that was what built up my dare love for science.

As a scientist, I later discovered that everything in the laboratory points humans back to God contrary to the popular belief that scientists are atheists.
I PRAY WHATEVER SITUATIONS YOU MAY BE PASSING THROUGH SHALL LEAD YOU TO GOD IN JESUS NAME...
Whatever you may be passing through right now should never take away prayer from you, in fact not even sickness or any form of afflictions. Among all the classifications of sickness, I can tell you that we have only two.
1. PHYSICAL SICKNESSES: these include malaria, headache, infections, HIV, etc. This category afflicts the flesh only...
2. SPIRITUAL SICKNESSES: these include depression, despair, despondency, discouragement, fear, and doubts, and their overseer is sin.
There is a saying that "religion is the opium of the masses" but over time we have learned that in as much as religion isn't perfect it is one of the forces keeping our society in place. In the 1790s France ban Christianity but within a short time, they had no option but to open churches again because of the increase in lawlessness.
Briefly let's see some research done by some renowned institutions in the world and what they came out with as a result of their research on prayer...
"Don't be concerned about anything; instead, pray about everything." Offer your...requests to God with thankful hearts." (Philippians 4:6)
The Bible clearly instructs us to "pray about everything." Today, science is starting to recognize the importance and power of prayer. Researchers studying the role of faith in health are uncovering evidence that is difficult to refute.
A 2014 study by The Mind Health Report, for example, found that people who engage in private prayer, intercessory prayer, and church activities are healthier and live longer.
Here are some additional advantages:
1. According to Florida State University researchers, praying for someone increases your willingness to forgive them. A group of men and women who prayed for the well-being of a close friend every day for four weeks were more willing to forgive not only the friend but also people in general. Forgiveness is linked to better overall health and life satisfaction.
2. Researchers at the University of Miami discovered that prayer and religious practices improve your ability to pursue and achieve long-term goals. Prayer affects brain regions that improve self-control, and people who regard their goals as sacred are more determined to achieve them...
3. According to a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, victims of abusive relationships who included prayer in their lives recovered a positive self-image and reduced their emotional pain.
4. According to Columbia University researchers, people who value religion and regularly attend church are 90% less likely to suffer from depression than their nonreligious counterparts.
That's pretty compelling evidence in favor of prayer, don't you think?
Next time they make jest of your prayers and going to church you should know that it is Satan trying to use them to shift you from your place of blessings.
They are not better than you because you have something they don't have and they want you to lose it so that you can remain at their level.
I PRAY FOR YOU WILL NEVER STOP PRAYING IN JESUS NAME...
