It is good to thank God for the daily blessings we receive or for merely a having another good work day. I do this daily. I also pray in times of trouble or when I simply couldn't stand a difficult situation I am in. I also ask for divine guidance in all my important decisions in life.

I don't pray but I meditate. Maybe meditation isn't so mysterious after all. Neuroscientists have found that meditators shift their brain activity to different areas of the cortex - brain waves in the stress-prone right frontal cortex move to the calmer left frontal cortex. This mental shift decreases the negative effects of stress, mild depression and anxiety. There is also less activity in the amygdala, where the brain processes fear.
