Abstract
Prayer has long been recognized for its potential to positively impact well-being and influence academic performance positively. However, contemporary modern-day trends indicate a decline in prayer practices among millennials and a rising number of individuals with no religious affiliation. This descriptive correlational study aimed to determine the effects of prayer on academic performance as perceived by college students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in a BIBCHUR (Bible and Church) course. An online survey was administered to 249 participants selected through convenient and purposive sampling to get their perspectives. Data were analyzed through mean and Pearson’s r to answer the research questions. Results showed that students’ perception of prayer is 3.40, or prayer moderately affects academic performance. This result indicates a negligible correlation between prayer and academic performance, or 0.0516. Therefore, the recommendation includes deepening prayer life through sustaining faith communities, enhancing formation programs, and developing resources for students’ spiritual growth to achieve holistic learning.
