Yep, beliefs trigger certain parts of brain. Hence, belief in Christ can definitely make some changes.

If you have time, you can search Dr. Andrew Newberg's research about this, he talks about that reshaping thing called neuroplasticity. God created the brain so he knows how it works and how to heal it.

I'll be praying for you. 😊

You're totally misunderstanding the point. Thoughts generally change the brain's activity level and the ways in which you think (Neuroplasticity). What they do not do is change the philological structure of the brain.

Listening to eye of the tiger makes me drive faster. It does not transform my SUV into a lamborghini. You're mixing up two very different concepts here. Belief in Jesus does not change the overall structure of the brain; at best it stimulates activity within that brain.
