If you’re anything like me, my days can get so busy- before I’ve realized it, I’ve been stressed about something all day- and never paused to pray about it! On days like these when you feel like you can barely catch your breath- my advice to you is to just- pray. You thought I was going to say breathe didn’t you? Well- you’ll do that too.

A breath prayer is a simple way to interact with God for just a moment. Some believe breath prayers have been around since the early church. They are short, simple praises or requests coinciding with a nice, deep breath. Maybe it’s just, “Dear God, give me strength. Or, “Please give my family peace in this hard time.”

The truth is, what you say has less importance than the posture in which you say it.

So, the next time you feel like the day and your stress-level is getting away from you, pause, breathe, and pray.
