We know that the law is made not for the righteous, but for lawbreakers and rebels, for the ungodly and sinful… for murderers… for the sexually immoral… for slave traders…
1 Timothy 1:9-10
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.
1 Timothy 1:15
Think
Slave trading is such a horrific sin that we may be tempted to hate all who practice it. But no one, including the human trafficker, is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. For example, an 18th century godless slave trader named John Newton was suddenly converted during a terrific sea storm. Out of his own experience, he wrote the most famous of all Christian hymns, Amazing Grace. His story of repentance inspires us to pray in faith for human traffickers today to be saved by grace and become witnesses to the transforming power of the gospel.

Breath Prayer Explanation
Breath prayers are a form of contemplative prayers linked to the rhythm of your breath. Breath prayer has been practiced in the church for thousands of years and is a 1 to 2 sentence prayer you silently pray 5-10 times consecutively throughout the day as you inhale and exhale.
It’s a centering prayer for our minds and hearts to remember God within all circumstances. Breath prayer is a simple yet transformative spiritual practice!
An example of a breath prayer is, “Father, you are Holy” (prayed silenty as you inhale), “Help me be holy” (prayed silently as you exhale).
