Breath of Life

Take a moment to refresh, refocus, and refine your faith.

Lord, thank you for reminders to breathe, to just take a moment and feel this grace-filled air revive my body and give me the strength to take one moment at a time. With each inhalation, I recognize how every second is a gift and opportunity to return the praise you deserve. With each exhalation, help me remember how dependent I am upon you for my very existence. No next breath is guaranteed, so it is my responsibility and privilege to live well in your name. As I move forward through the next hours, days, and hopefully years, Father, help me not take my life and your merciful hand upon it for granted. Amen.

Job 33:4

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Genesis 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Psalm 90:12

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
