Prayer and faith can lead to flourishing, according to a new survey of young people conducted by Springtide Research Institute.
It’s the latest research showcasing the impact faith and belief can have on people’s lives.
The survey, conducted among 13 to 25 year olds, found the majority of religious young people — 73% — believe their spiritual practices have a positive impact on their mental health, according to Religion News Service.
While the data isn’t exclusively speaking about Christians, the findings are noteworthy, particularly when it comes to prayer. The majority of young people who pray daily (74%) reported they are flourishing, while just 57% of people who never pray said the same.
Connection to God also matters, as 42% of people who said they feel highly connected to the Almighty reported “flourishing a lot.”
