For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33: 4 NLT 

Sometimes, we need to take a breath and welcome the gift of calm; allow PEACE to flow from Jesus and recognize the power of God’s amazing love. We NEED to recognize where STRENGTH comes from and allow ourselves to breathe deeply. 

Breath is something we need. We depend on it to survive. The breath of God is life. He faithfully lives in us! When God created man from dust on the ground, He breathed life in his nostrils and he became a living soul. We were created to remember who takes good care of us. 

Worry will cause unwanted stress and prevent us from welcoming strength. But when we stand in His presence, God helps us release doubt and breathe what He wants to provide. He helps us welcome HOPE. 

When stagnant fear is allowed to rule our way of thinking, we will never feel the fullness of PEACE. God’s faithfulness is forever! We must take time to BREATHE what is GOOD and let go of what needs to be GONE. We need to experience what happens when we breathe in the love of His holiness. 

God will bring strength and calm. He is great and He is good. His LOVE for us will last forever as we faithfully TRUST. Now, try it! Close your eyes, speak to God and slowly welcome what’s been missing… He will help us learn to BREATHE again.

Dear God, Thank you for the love of mercy and grace. Oh, how we need to feel Your presence when distractions don’t allow us to welcome calm. We will begin this day in praise and breathe ALL You provide. We will find rest while we’re cradled in care. YOU are the air we breathe! Thank you for allowing us to breathe deeply in YOU. Amen
