It's time for a new series! I'm bringing together two things dear to me, breath prayers and old school hymns, in hopes of creating something simple to help you connect to God.ā ā Here's how I'm using it. I'm reading the text of the hymn as a prayer and then continuing to pray short responses based on themes from the text. ā ā Sometimes a phrase on the breath in and the breath out. Sometimes only on the breath in or the breath out. Choose just one, several, or all. Repeat a breath prayer as many times as you need. I find it helpful to pause between breath prayers. ā ā Let's start with a classic- Breathe on Me, Breath of God by Edwin Hatch. What breath prayer would you write?ā ā 1. Breathe on me, Breath of God,ā fill me with life anew,ā that I may love what thou dost love,ā and do what thou wouldst do.ā ā 2. Breathe on me, Breath of God,ā until my heart is pure,ā until with thee I will one will,ā to do and to endure.ā ā 3. Breathe on me, Breath of God,ā till I am wholly thine,ā till all this earthly part of meā glows with thy fire divine.ā ā 4. Breathe on me, Breath of God,ā so shall I never die,ā but live with thee the perfect lifeā of thine eternity.ā ā IN:ā OUT: Breathe on me, breath of Godā ā IN: ā OUT: Fill me with lifeā ā IN:ā OUT: to love what you loveā ā IN:ā OUT: to do and to endureā ā IN:ā OUT: I am yoursā ā IN:ā OUT: Come, Fire Divineā ā IN:ā OUT: With you foreverā ā ā ā #breathprayers #breathprayer #justbreathe #talktoGod #pandemicprayers #soulcare #encounteringgod #spiritualpractice #mindfulnesspractice #spiritualdiscipline #meansofgrace #talkingtoGodā #listeningtogod #godisnear #christianspirituality #slowlivingforlife #restingingod #restingod #trustgod #christianprayer #prayerlife #spirituallife #prayerpractice (at Sarasota, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEhS4rFVh4/?igshid=1l83p44ghrdte
