Breathing: A Prayer

A special gift from my aunt

Breathing by Rev. Monique McBride

With only breath
Your name can be spoken
Yud Hey Vav Hay
So holy
It isn’t to be said aloud
Holy Spirit. Breath. Life…
Interchangeable words of life source and presence
How much more beautiful and holy
It makes the simple yet profound act
Of breathing in and out
Our first and last act of life
Our taking in of the essential
Our letting go
Of that which does not serve
Our relationship to earth and trees
Taking in oxygen giving back carbon dioxide
A delicate balance of life
Of which all on earth participate

Of being mindful not to breathe
Where we may cause harm to our neighbor

We breathe
We pant
We huff
We sigh
We gasp
We inhale
We hold our breathe
We exhale
We remember that You are only as far as our breath
Lord, remind us, when it feels so hard to breathe
That You are in our breath
That all we have to do
Is breathe
And You love us
Breathe
And You are present
May that be enough
Amen.

  7. I do trust all the concepts you have offered to your post.
    They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the
    posts are very brief for newbies. Could you please extend them a little from next time?

    Thank you for the post.

  36. The road seemed to stretch on endlessly before us, but Alexis assured me that our journey was near an end. We’d turn before long into thick woods and travel through narrow, winding roads until we reached her family’s cabin. I had no choice but to trust her as GPS had given out nearly 20 minutes ago.

    “There’s good wifi and okay reception at the cabin,” she’d told me, “but you can’t get there unless you know the way.”

    So here I was, driving alone in the middle of god knows where with a girl who was my student just a couple of weeks ago. Her and her four best friends had been together from first grade all the way through high school and now they had graduated with very different futures ahead of them. They had decided to kick off “the best summer ever” with a week long stay at Alexis’s family cabin. Alexis and I were heading up before everyone else, the four other girls and four guys.

  94. The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to learn, but I really thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you could possibly repair if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.

  99. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
    it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just
    posting videos to your site when you could be giving us
    something informative to read?
