Today we talked about breath prayer and here’s a great article

Inhale: Jesus, my God.
Exhale: Thank you for being a friend who is with me always.

Inhale: Lord Jesus.
Exhale: Give me patience and understanding.

Inhale: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Exhale: Have mercy on me.

“I am a mom to two young children,” wrote Esther Shin Chuang in 2023. “When I finally find the time to be alone with God after my kids go to bed, I find myself too exhausted for extended prayer.

I started feeling guilty that I couldn’t spend long hours with God like I used to and felt my walk with God grow stale. At the same time, I realized that I needed God more than ever when my toddler made yet another mess at mealtime and my kids bickered and screamed at each other. I desired to come to God, but I struggled to find that chunk of time.”

Her spiritual director “advised me to be more gracious with myself and to practice breath prayers throughout the day.

In breath prayers, the Christian begins by focusing his or her heart and mind on God. The prayer is then divided into a few words on the inhale and a few words on the exhale.

Whether a Scripture verse or a theological couplet, breath prayers are meant to be short. This allows them versatility so Christians can pray wherever they are, while doing anything.
