Breath Prayers – Prepare // 2 Corinthians 5:5

This week we are exploring breath prayers. Yesterday we looked at what is widely believed to be the very first, at least as recorded in scripture. A breath prayer is simply a few words that are lifted in prayer as you inhale God’s spiritual breath and exhale your personal stress. The next few days I will share some of my own breath prayers. Today’s is actually my very first…at least that I can recall.

Dear Lord, prepare me for today, provide for my needs, and protect me from our enemies.

How does this strike you? Is it one you can use? I certainly share it with you and invite you to pray it with me as a way to get, and stay, focused on God’s powerful presence!

Keep breathing!
