My sister in law Jacquie ( only 59) has been type 1 diabetic her whole life. After chemo for breast cancer last year and the aftercare medications she has hard a hard time keeping her sugars in check Long story short she has had 3 emergency surgeries in the last 2 weeks resulting in an amputation just above her knee, today we were told the surgery was not successful and she will potentially have another surgery on Thursday, if this one doesn’t work they have said that there is nothing more they can do. John is looking at flights as I write but we would appreciate Gods protection over Jacquie and the medical team. Also comfort for the whole family. Jacquie is not a follower of Jesus so Id also like prayer that she will turn to God through this time and that she would feel his comfort, love and presence

Breath prayer is a spiritual practice that historically the church has used as a way of aligning our patterns of breathing with simple words or phrases. It has been used as a way to grow in the biblical encouragement of ‘praying without ceasing.’

For some of us, slowing down and reflecting on a couple phrases is life-giving, and for others, we acknowledge this can be challenging. But together as a community, we occasionally give this a try as we continue to strengthen our spiritual muscles so to speak.

If you would like to make breath prayer a part of your personal spiritual practice, feel free to download one of the audio resources below*, or visit the YouTube link for a video version of the same experience.
