Prayer Coping Tool

Prayer can be an effective coping tool that helps people manage stress by providing emotional support, a sense of calm, and a framework for problem-solving. It can be used to reduce stress, increase positive emotions, and offer a sense of guidance and hope during difficult times. "Prayer is the instrument for bringing peace within a person as well as peace among all persons. It gives to every person inward peace to meet the demands of life and gives to all humankind the collective power to live together in peace. Peace and power, within individuals and among all groups, are possible through prayer" (Tolson & Koenig, 2003).
