How to Destress Yourself With Prayer

Miracles Follow Faith
When we have trials and tribulation we tend to turn to God. It is a better solution to have a close relationship with the Lord, whether troubled or not, so that our faith will remain with us throughout our difficulties. Maybe Heavenly Father gives us troubles so that we may turn to him and become closer to him.
This hub is intended to help give suggestions on how we can Destress through prayer. What does it mean to Destress? It means to change our stressful habits of doubt, fear, and worry into successful habits of certainty, confidence, hope, and faith in God, others and ourselves. These particular habits I speak of are our thoughts. More often than not, when we have crisis, we tend to habitually think the worst is going to happen rather than having faith that everything will be fine, because it always is.
With that said, please allow me to outline some suggestions on How to Destress Yourself with prayer.
1. Pray often. Preferably morning, noon, and night. This practice will bring us closer to the Lord, which will increase our faith in Him, in His Only Begotten, Jesus Christ, and in our life.
2. Be grateful. When we thank Heavenly Father for the good things in our life and for the good things that have recently happened to us it helps us focus on an attitude of gratitude and the good in life. What is good is from God.
3. Ask the Lord. When we ask the Lord for the things we are in need of we are showing our faith in Him and that he will provide for us. He knows what we have need of and it is only necessary to ask in faith.
4. Declare, Thy will be done. When we say this to God we are expressing our willingness and our intention to obey His command even if it is not what we want.
5. Pray for God to bless specific people who are in need. When we do this we are serving one another by praying for the well fair of our brothers and sisters here on earth.
6. Pray for forgiveness. Ask Him to forgive you for the things that you have done that are not of his design. As the Apostles of old exhorted us to Repent, we must repent continuously.
7. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Always pray in Jesus' name. This shows faith in Him and ends the prayer in faith.
These are a few suggestions that, if practiced, will bring us closer to the Lord, which in turn will create us to have more faith in Him and in our lives. When we have faith we are Destressed.
When we are close to Heavenly Father we are more able to hear that still small voice of inspiration. In addition to prayer, feast on the words of Christ, in the scriptures, serve one another, and trust in God.
With these practices, I promise, you will have comfort and joy.

Thank you for writing such an encouraging hub. It is certainly true that we are to pray without ceasing. Prayer does indeed bring us closer to our Heavenly Father and in turn gives us the assurance we need to face the trials given to us in this life. Signing on as a fan.
