Words of Wisdom
Breathe...
I am refreshed by every breath and every prayer.
If I should become upset about something, I calm down by breathing more slowly and centering my thoughts on God. Then I think more clearly and allow divine guidance to show me the best way to resolve the situation.
If I am tired or feel overworked, taking a few deep breaths will rejuvenate me and give my body the oxygen enrichment it needs to heal sore muscles and ease any discomfort I may be feeling.
Just as I am physically refreshed by clean air, so, too, is my soul refreshed by prayer. Taking slower, deeper breaths during my prayer times, I am blessed both physically and spiritually. God has given me the gift of life. Each breath of air I take and each prayer I offer nourishes me.
“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.”-Genesis 2:7
