There is something powerful about pausing, taking a breath, and remembering who we are and whose we are. Even in a fast-moving and complicated world, God continues to invite us into courage, clarity, and hope.
Reconciling Ministries suggests these two prayers to help you on this path.
Breath Prayer
Inhale: God of Love, ground me.
Exhale: Make me a bearer of hope.
Spoken Prayer
God of Love,
Slow our racing hearts and steady our spirits. Help us breathe deeply of your grace and exhale courage into a world that needs it. Center us in your peace, move us toward your justice, and shape us into people who reflect your hope in all we do.
Amen.
