Spirituality is a broad concept with room for many
perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger
than ourselves. It typically involves a search for meaning in life.
While there are many paths people use to find God, research shows that those
who have made the journey find greater relief from stress and enjoy better health
and happier lives.
Prayer can help you feel more connected
with God, leaving you with a calmer, safer, more grounded feeling that can act
as a buffer against stress. It can also bring benefits similar to the benefits of meditation,
including lower blood pressure, increased immunity, and more. Just as
there are many different faiths, there are different ways to experience
religion within a faith. Some people express their spirituality or in a more
personal way, dedicating their lives to God to becoming a good person. There’s a
lot of value in the phrase, ‘When God closes a door, and He opens a window.’
Those who have a greater trust in God, those
who are more spiritual have the benefit of seeing stressful situations as tests
of strength, or even as valuable lessons from God. This can be a good
distinction, as viewing a stressful event as a challenge can make the event
itself feel less threatening.
