5. Spirituality, Prayer, and Stress Relief (optional post for participation)

Class,

Since some of you have mentioned in this week’s discussion forums already that religious belief or spirituality has helped you through times of great stress, some of you may find the following article interesting, titled “Spirituality and Prayer Relieve Stress” from Psychcentral.com. Visit the link and after reading the article, offer some explanation of your own of why such conclusions were found. Do you fully agree with these findings or do you think there are other factors at play that the author did not address? Please remember to be respectful of one another, and address this topic in an academic manner. (This is an optional discussion prompt that can be counted as a “response” for participation).

Hi Class,

Please offer the definition of the word, where you located the information and use the term in a sentence. Keep in mind just placing the term into google or ask.com — websites like such will not be given points. The term should be available from a quality website or the GCU library.
