Breath Prayers: Breathing & Praying Through ScriptureНамуна

Welcome to Day 1 of our breath prayer journey!

Today, we will explore the powerful promise of finding comfort in God's Presence in the midst of our worries. Life can be challenging and it can sometimes make us feel overwhelmed, anxious, or burdened. However, we can always turn to God for solace, joy, peace, and rest.

As you begin your prayer time, take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to become aware of God's loving Presence. With each inhale, let your worry be acknowledged, and with each exhale, release it into God's hands.

As you meditate on today's Scripture, relax and simply repeat the following breath prayer meditation exercise.

Inhale/breathe in: When my worry is great within me,

Exhale/breathe out: Your comfort brings joy to my soul.

Allow this prayer to become a soothing rhythm, drawing you deeper into God's embrace. Take a moment to reflect upon the meaning of the verse and the comfort that God's Presence offers. Let His peace fill your heart, knowing that you can trust Him with your worries.

Throughout the day, come back to this breath prayer whenever anxiety starts to arise within you. Allow God's comfort to wash over you, bringing joy and reassurance to your mind and heart. Embracing this simple yet profound practice will help you deepen your connection with God as you walk intimately in His peace and Holy Presence.

Take some time today to journal your experience and any insights you gained from this breath prayer. Tomorrow, we will explore another verse to continue our journey. May you find comfort and joy in God's Presence today and always.

The Scripture in today's breath prayer is Psalm 94:19 NLV.

When my worry is great within me, Your comfort brings joy to my soul. (Psalm 94:19 NLV)
