Is Prayer the key to creativity? let's find out....
Prayers keeps our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:7). We will briefly explore what this means for the brain.
It has been found that 12 minutes of daily focused prayer over an 8 week period can change

It also increases frontal lobe activity as focus and intentionality increase. As well as changing the brain, another study implies that intentional prayer can even change physical matter. Researchers found that intentional thought for 30 seconds affected laser light (2).

 Therefore, even though toxic thought can cause brain damage, prayer can reverse that damage and cause the brain and body to thrive.

How prayerful are you?
