Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or unsure? One of the simplest, most practical ways we can connect with God and ourselves anytime, anywhere is Breath Prayer. 

Take a few minutes to practice this gentle breath prayer that invites renewal. Short cues help your body settle as we move from reflection to silence to closing prayer and practical next steps.

Allow this passage from The Message to engage your whole self, so Scripture becomes an encounter rather than a concept. You’ll hear “This is my body” and “This is my blood” as a present-tense invitation to participate, remember, and partake. The practice moves from attentive listening to personal response, offering time for a simple conversation with Jesus.
