I have been working a while with the talented designer Carolyn Bender of CB Lifestyle. I love her tablescapes. She just opened the most beautiful shop in Brentwood, CA. So if you are visiting the LA area soon you MUST stop by. For the rest of us, I am sharing Carolyn’s fabulous Easter tables. All of the items featured are available on her website HERE. Bon Weekend!

Our mental health is something that plays an essential role in our overall health. Without sound mental health, our body will not function as it should. There are a number of activities that people do to make sure they keep their minds in a healthy condition and one of those activities is ‘praying’.

Prayer is many things

Prayer is a form of communication with the divine, and it is one of the most important ways in which we can feel closer to God. It can also be a form of self-care, as it helps us to find peace and comfort. Prayer is not just about asking for things, it’s also about expressing gratitude and showing appreciation for what we already have in our lives. Remembering the Almighty has many benefits: it can help us to find peace, provide us with comfort, connect us with God, and more.

Prayer & the Brain

Neuroscience has shown that prayer and the brain are closely linked. The studies reveal that prayer can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also help with the recovery process after a stroke or heart attack.

Remembering the Almighty with a pure heart is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce stress and anxiety in our lives. It’s also an effective way to connect with a higher power, which can have a profound effect on mental health.

The Purpose of Prayer in Modern Life

Prayer has never been more important than it is today. In a world where many people are searching for meaning and purpose, prayer can help fill that void.

Because it is a way of communicating with God. It is also a way to express our love and appreciation for all that he has done for us. Reciting some invocations and understanding how to pray the right way can be a powerful tool to help us in difficult times, or even when we are feeling discouraged. 

Prayer is not always answered the way we want it to be, but it does not mean that it was not answered at all or that our prayers are being ignored. There are many different ways that God may answer our prayers, and sometimes what we think is an answer may actually be something else entirely.

Genuine love and concern with other people

Praying for others is a great way to show love and concern for other people. It also helps us to have a more positive outlook on life. When we pray for others, it helps us to focus on the good things in our lives, which can lead to a more fulfilling life. Praying for others can strengthen our faith and provide us with a higher meaning in life. It has also been scientifically proven to have health benefits, such as boosting the immune system.

Remembering God with pure intentions and a willingness to give in to the divine can help us in more ways than one. One needs to understand some basics and general principles behind praying. The benefits are various and life-changing.
