TRUST IN GOD



TRUST
The health benefit of regularly attending religious activities is comparable to not smoking! Well, for starters, different studies have shown a connection between a lack of religious service attendance and the likelihood of having respiratory disease, infectious disease, or diabetes. The health risk extends so far as having high blood pressure, depression, suicide, lung cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, and hospital admissions. It is also more likely to become physically disabled and suffer from weaker immune systems. In contrast, regular church attendees were more likely to stop smoking, increase their physical activity, become more social, and stay married.

Organized religion usually provides a social support system that’s been shown to improve overall health. In a study of cardiac surgery patients, people with low social support who did not depend on their religious faith for strength had a mortality rate that was 12 times higher than people who did have a strong religious support network to rely on.

Ever consider the phrase “power of prayer”? Academic studies show that prayer has beneficial health effects, particularly for the person who is doing the praying. Studies of ‘petitionary’ prayer, in which a person prays for his or her own health or peace of mind, show tangible statistical results. Science backs up the benefits of praying for your own health, especially when it comes to mental health like clinical depression. So, does God change our brains? Or, as our creator, does God know what makes us the most healthy?
 I believe that God wants to be in a relationship with us. When we allow him into our lives, our brains are ‘turned on’, our bodies are made more efficient, our immune systems are strengthened, thinking becomes clearer, and, well, we feel great. In our goal to live longer, healthier lives, being rooted firmly in God and fellowshipping with likeminded believers has been shown to be one of the most effective strategies.
