People spend $21 billion a year on life-enhancing supplements. Yes, $21 Billion!
I'm sure some of them work very well.
But the most effective way to live a longer life costs nothing. It doesn't come in a box or a bottle. It comes from your mouth and heart.
Prayer
Study said people who pray regularly live seven years longer. That's right. 7 years—10 percent of what the Bible called a full life!
So is it as simple as that? Pray regularly and watch your immune system get stronger?
No. Prayer works best when we do it both by ourselves and within a community. It works best when bonds us with one another.
We live our prayer gathering at a church or synagogue…getting together for meals… volunteering with our friends and family.
All of these sacred create the community through which we experience God.
And prayer ties it all together.
According to Einstein
Albert Einstein once received a letter from a young girl asking "If scientists prayed?" His extraordinary response:
"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that some spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe, one that is vastly superior to that of man."
Prayer lifts up that spirit. And it brings it down into our hearts. If Einstein knew the power of prayer, who are we to doubt it?
You can discover the exact prayers Jesus (and Moses) said and taught in What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Jewishness of Jesus.
