If I am agitated or stressed out, I find it helps just to pray for a few seconds. Just a quick prayer and I begin to calm down a bit and then deal with the situation. This is true for a lot of my friends also

Prayer is not only in times of stress but, when you are planing to do anything  it helps you to do that in a right way. So it gives you a right taught to succeed.

yup, prayer helps relieves stress. because when we pray we communicate the worries and problems that we have, its like meditating, i feel at ease afterward.  the feeling is indescribable when you talk to God your problems, your triumphs, and just about everything.

yes it is true because in time of stress you need mind relief and it can only be achieved via prayers and showing devotion towards GOD

Prayer changes Things - That's our favorite quotation. I always believed in prayer and for me it is a total surrender to God that you are giving all to Him. Your burden, problems, discouragement, etc. It is always a good thing to spent time in praying. Prayer is a great tool for us to be stronger spiritually. Back to you question, if prayer really help in times of our stressful life? Based on my experienced, yes it does help always. Keep on praying. God bless.

 Pray is a powerful thing. We may think that prayers go unanswered but nothing in the world is arbitrary. Our time line is not the same as the timeline beyond, so what we may ask to happen this Friday is actually something that has been in the works for a long time and Friday is not the right time for said prayer to be answered.  Pray at any time is helpful but even more so when you are stressed. It is a way to calm your mind, to get to the heart of the matter, and put somethings into perspective for you. Perhaps you were overwhelmed because you are too close to the situation at hand. When you take a step back, relax your mind for a moment, and ask for guidance, in a way, you are guiding yourself. You slow down long enough to take a look at the situation from another point of view and hopefully when you do that, you will see that things are not as bad as they seem. It does not hurt to ask for backup!

I use a rosary during prayer and meditative prayer. I find that it helps me during incredibly stressful moments. It does help me focus. It also helps me when nothing else will. I am not sure if it is the prayer aspect, peaceful aspect, or just that it allows me to shut everything else out for a bit and let my mind and body work out the issue as best it can. I just know it does help me.
