Since We've Got a Little Time . . . Let's Practice Breathing

Have you ever heard of 'breath prayers'?  I learned about them several years ago and they are wonderful little things!  Here is what they are . . . 

You have a short little phrase that has two parts to it one before the '/' and one after.  During the first half, before the '/' you in hale, and after the '/' you exhale.  Here are some examples:

Breathe on me/breath of God.

More of You/less of me.

Beside still water/the Lord leads me.

Be still before the Lord/wait patiently.

Fill me/with life anew.

Do not fear/I am with you.

Be anxious/for nothing.

You see?  Got the hang of it?  If you think of any others just let me know!  

Have a blessed week!
