Prayer While Breathing – Terri Leander

Prayer while breathing               Terri Leander
Dearest God,
On this day, please enter and fill me with your grace and mercy.
As you breathe into me, with the cool, gentle breeze from the north, south, east, and west,  may I inhale your love and compassion; so that I may exhale through my words and actions , reflections of my ever growing relationship with You. O God within me, let my breathing in and my breathing out, be a continuous cycle of vitality, to live my life as a follower worthy of Your divine call to be Your faithful, devout, and humble servant.
