Whenever we feel depressed by reasons beyond your control then it is the prayer that will generally come to your rescue
. Prayer is one powerful tool that can give you emotional stability as well as it can help you overcome the dreadful thoughts. The prayer that you say has to be there in all honesty otherwise the benefits can not be derived.
The reason the prayer is such a wonderful thing is because of the fact that prayer gives that inner solitude. It helps you clean up your mind and become one with the most creator of the universe. That sense of calm will help you clear your doubts and remove any negative feelings. Prayer is the best healer of all mind and soul.
It is by virtue of this healing that will also see the serenity prayer hung up in the treatment centers and the counseling centers. In fact serenity prayer became famous because of the fact that Alcoholics Anonymous embraced the prayer. This prayer in essence tells you that it is OK to accept the truth and bear it. It also tells that there are a lot of things that are beyond our control and the God has given us the will power and strength to maintain or equilibrium in the face of adversity.
Alcoholics Anonymous or AA as an organization has used this to give relief to troubled folks who came within its fold to seek counseling and de-addiction. Such is the power of the prayer.
In any religion the most essential motto of any prayer is to connect us to powerful creator and that in itself helps to give us healing. That spiritual connection of the mind and the soul takes us away from mundane things in life and helps us find answers which otherwise you will never get.
Those who doubt the power of prayer as a healing tool are those who do not say the prayer in full honesty and in full faith. Ultimately the power of the prayer comes from the soul connection made. That soul connection can only be established when you have the clean state of mind. Say the prayer in a separate room and make sure that there are no other sounds coming.
Also banish all thoughts from your mind before you start reciting the prayer. Say the prayer at least seven times to get the full benefit. Be disciplined in your approach.
