Prayer Support Groups in Metro Chicago

Spirituality and Mental Health

Mental health is often addressed at Wednesday prayer group meetings because spirituality can improve one’s mental health. Prayer and spirituality often help people experiencing stress through an infusion of peace, sense of purpose, hope and meaning to one’s life. And, it not only can help people make sense of life’s experiences but can improve confidence, self esteem and self-control. Whether someone is coping with cancer or clinical depression, a spiritual practice has been found to decrease negative emotions, help one find meaning, deepen relationships with others and lead to new found mental freedom and health.

Here are two examples of individuals who found freedom from anxiety and depression through their study of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. These are the kinds of experiences that are often shared at Wednesdays’ prayer group meetings.
