Text Journey: Day 29

Oct 24, 2019

Read

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:1-3

Think

When you think of your life’s calling, do you dream and imagine that it is simply to bear with the people in your life with love? And that the best way Jesus says to live this out is with humility, gentleness, and patience, with the goal of unity and peace? How does this contrast with your idea of “calling?” In what times have you needed those around you to bear with you? Can you think of people in your life you can bear more graciously?

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).
