Breathing the Jesus Prayer:

In the New Testament, Pneuma is the Greek word for the breath of God. It means Spirit and wind.

"And God breathed on me and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. God breathes out all Scripture. He gives me life and breath and everything." (John 20; 2 Tim 3; Acts 17)

Psalm 46:10. Have you ever heard a little bell on a cat's collar? Or on one of your favorite toys? Or perhaps a little bell on a gate or door?

Luke 10:25-37. The Bible tells us that God loves us and wants us to be safe, loved, and cared for. But sometimes we feel hurt, don't we? This is a story from the Bible of someone that got hurt and how God brought someone to care for him.
