Prayer allows people to keep control of their emotions and actions, a new study says.

Previous studies have found that when people try hard to control their thoughts and emotions, the buildup of emotion can result in aggressive outbursts or in binge eating or drinking, the Daily Mail reported.

But the new study by German psychologists at Saarland University and the University of Mannheim found that prayer reduces those chances.

"A brief period of personal prayer buffered the self-control depletion effect," the researchers wrote. The findings were published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

A total of 79 people participated in the study. Forty-one were Christians, 14 were atheists, 10 were agnostic and 14 were members of other religions.

Participants were left alone for five minutes and told either to pray or to think about one thing as intensely as they could. They were then shown comedic videos. Half were told to react normally and half were asked to try to suppress their reactions.

Next, they participated in Stroop tests, in which the names of colors were shown written in ink of a different color than the color's name. They were told to name the color rather than reading the word, which requires self-control.

Those who did not pray before watching the funny videos had more trouble with the Stroop test, indicating that praying before performing the task of controlling emotions helped people retain control when performing the Stroop test.

Additionally, the study found that those who prayed tried just as hard to control their emotions while watching the videos, but did not deplete their capacity for self-control

Alwaystrue: @vickyO, I am glad you are inspired by the Holy Spirit and the word. Thank God for His love...It is unfathomable. We need to yield ourselves to Him in response to His love. Let us work out our salvation with fear and trembling indeed.

No, I am neither an ordained pastor or a teacher in my church....not yet anyway...though from time to time I take the Word in our womens fellowship which is on a rotational basis. I love to study the word of God for in it is wisdom to live abundant life continually.

God bless you. Don't stop posting, keep revealing those insights, that's what we are thirsty for, spiritual/biblical insights not some cooked up junk some people teach today. Remain always true. I'll keep following.

harbiola1: And i don't think Jesus told his Disciples this one that i'm seeing.
The poor disciples just went inside the Temple to knock their heads on the floor three times a day practising man-centered religion which may nt give them salvation.

Victims of fraudulent, isn't it?

Only God knows their present conditions. :'

Did they?
And doesn't it seem a little to early to derail?
Are you a Christian?

Alwaystrue: @frosbel, the answer to your question shows we all need greater understanding.

David acknowledged his sin and repented in sackcloth (David also always inquired of God before making moves), God told Abraham in the very next chapter of the Hagar saga to walk before him and be blameless and told Abraham that it was Sarah that will give him the son because before then God had promised Abraham a son and Abaraham did not believe it would be Sarah that will bear the child.
It was after God affirmed it was Sarah that will bring forth. Genesis 17:15-18.

It is not about falling into sin but continuing in sin even when the truth is known. Imagine an adulterer who says all His righteosnes is Christ's so his works don't matter. We even have Christians who sin now and say they will ask for forgiveness and that is all and yet do the same and still claim all they need is to be forgiven. That is how perveted the world is now.

Every Christian is to live in humble sumbission to God's will and do God's will. Sin is so decietful it keeps people at ease:

Hebrews 3:12-14
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be
hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we are made partakers of Christ, IF WE HOLD the beginning of our confidence stedfast UNTO THE END;

Hebrews 4:1
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Hebrews 10:38-39
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

The gospel of the kingdom is balanced, it exhorts, admonishes, comforts, warns and rebukes so we remain aligned to God. When we fall, we run to the throne of grace for MERCY and HELP.

Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
This is the more reason why I said that grace has a dual role, many who stop at just mercy and think they are enjoying what grace is, have not even scratched the surface of what grace is.

Are you a Pastor or Teacher in the church?

Alwaystrue: Yes, this is so true. The word of God is our mirror as Christians.
We have been given garments of righteousness as Christians, even when we have spots on it, we go to Him to forgive us for the staining and help us to maintain and keep it clean and unspotted by aligning our will with His will.
Deciding to leave the stain in unbelief, defiance or 'don't care' is dangerous.
I often feel Judas would still have been saved if he came back to repent of the betrayal like Peter did of the denial. His comitting suicide was a clear sign of unbelief that he could even still be saved.

True talk. Girl, you inspire me (through the help of the Holy Spirit of course ).
This thing almost had to me you know (excusing sins). But thank God for his grace and the ability He has given us to renew our minds everyday with the help of the Holy Spirit.
It doesn't take too long for us to lose our faiths and slip away. That's why we should always be attentive to the Spirit, guard our hearts with all diligence, bear the fruits of the Spirit and subdue the flesh. In summary, we should let Christ be the Umpire of our lives.
If we Christians obey this simple instruction, I believe we'll be better of;
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

It was written by Christian evangelist Jefferson Bethke.
A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures, Jesus received the most opposition from most religious people of His day. At its core Jesus’ gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/ self-justification. Religion is man-centered, Jesus is God-centered. The poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can’t do your own list of rules and you feel not good enough for God. With Jesus, though, you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don’t represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect, putting us in perfect standing with God!
This isn’t a poem to criticize the Church.
The Church is Jesus’ bride so be careful how you speak of His wife. If a normal dude has right to get pissed when you bash his wife, it makes me tremble to think how great the weight is when we do it to Jesus’ wife. The Church is His vehicle to reach a lost world; A hospital for sinners. Saying you love Jesus but hate the Church, is like a fiancé saying he love his future bride but hates her kids.
THE POEM
What if I told you Jesus came to abolish religion? What if I told you voting Republican wasn’t really His mission? What if I told you Republican doesn’t automatically mean Christian? And just because you call some people blind doesn’t automatically give you vision. I mean if religion is so great, why has it caused so many wars? Why does it build huge churches, but fails to feed the poor? Tells single moms God doesn’t love them if they’ve ever had a divorce But in the Old Testament, God actually calls religious people whores Religion might preach grace but another thing they practice Tend to ridicule God’s people; they did it to John the Baptist They can’t fix their problems, and so they just mask it Not realizing religion’s like spraying perfume on a casket See the problem with religion is, it never gets to the core It’s just a behavior modification, like a long list of chores Like let’s dress up the outside make it look nice and neat But it’s funny that’s what they use to do to mummies while the corpse rots underneath, Now I ain’t judging, I’m just saying quit putting on a fake look Cause there’s a problem if people only know you’re a Christian by your Facebook I mean in every other aspect of life; you know that logic’s unworthy It’s like saying you play for the Lakers because you bought a jersey You see this was me too, but no one seemed to be on to me Acting like a church kid, while addicted to pornography See on Sunday I’d go to church, but Saturday getting faded Acting if I was simply created just to have sex and get wasted See I spent my whole life building this façade of neatness But now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness Because if grace is water then the Church should be an ocean It’s not a museum for good people; it’s a hospital for the broken Which means I don’t have to hide my failure, I don’t have to hide my sin Because it doesn’t depend on me, it depends on Him See because when I was God’s enemy and certainly not a fan He looked down and said I want that man Which is why Jesus hated religion and for it He called them fools Don’t you see so much better than just following some rules? Now let me clarify, I love the church, I love the Bible, and yes I believe in sin But if Jesus came to your Church would they actually let Him in See remember He was called a glutton, and a drunkard by religious men But the son of God never supports self-righteousness, not now, not then Now back to the point, one thing is vital to mention How Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrum See one’s the work of God, but one’s a man-made invention See one is the cure, but the other’s the infection See because religion says do, Jesus says done Religion says slave, Jesus says son Religion puts you in bondage, while Jesus sets you free Religion makes you blind but Jesus makes you see And that’s why religion and Jesus are two different clans Religion is man searching for God; Christianity is God searching for man Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own Not based on my merits but Jesus’s obedience alone Because He took the crown of thorns, and the blood dripped down his face He took what we all deserved; I guess that’s why you call it grace And while being murdered He yelled, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” Because when He was dangling on that Cross, He was thinking of you And He absorbed all of your sin, and buried it in the tomb Which is why kneeling at the Cross, saying come on, there’s room So for religion, no I hate it, in fact I literally resent it Because when Jesus said it is finished, I believe He meant it.

@op, correct the topic of the thread.
Careful (Adjective) not Cafeful ( )

Pipsland78: Thank you for the expository, God bless you huge!

It's Exposition (noun) not Expository (adjective).

Alwaystrue..... she exudes intelligence. Has anyone ever come across her?

The Love of God is the best message you can preach to everyone and anyone. It awakens something in you that's really indescribable.
