Calm Your Anxiety and Restore Your Soul: 7 Days of Breath Prayers

DAY 4 OF 7

You Are Carried

Breathe Deep and Know: He is carrying you. You are held safe in His hands.

Sometimes we forget that we are held. The darkness of suffering closes in, and it’s hard to see—hard to see those around us, to see our support systems, to see the gifts and mercies present even in the darkest of times. We feel alone, abandoned, and left to fend for ourselves. Prayer adjusts our eyes to see the truth: in the darkness, His hands are enfolding us; through the unknown, His arms are carrying us. The God who made you, who knit together every cell and fiber of your being, is the One who sustains you. Right now, in this moment, He is holding you. He will never ever stop— not today, not tomorrow, not on days when hope is hard to hold, or the dark is closing in—there will never be a day in all of your days when His loving arms aren’t carrying you through.

Anxiety. Stress. Worry. How can you give your burdens to God when your heart is hurting and you just don't have the words to say? Breath prayers are short, one-sentence prayers that are directly rooted in Scripture, thought or spoken while breathing deeply. The science of breathing and the practice of praying God’s Word can work hand- in- hand to help calm your body and reorient your mind toward Christ.
