This simple yet powerful prayer can transform your day, grounding you in the comforting truth of God’s affection for you.
The Power of a Single Breath
Similar to a deep breath that fills your lungs and calms your spirit, this prayer serves as a spiritual reset throughout your day. The beauty of a One Breath Prayer lies in its accessibility; you don’t need fancy words or a lengthy ritual. Just take a moment, inhale deeply, and allow the words to sink into your soul.
