Day 24 – Practice Breathing

“As long as my life is within me, And the breath of God is [still] in my nostrils, My lips will not speak unjustly, Nor will my tongue utter deceit.” Job 27:3-4

We all know the old saying of count to 10, right? It is a time of breathing and a time to gather thoughts and make wise decisions before springing into action. Breathing calms the panic in our minds, soothes the immediate anger and brings us to a place of self-control. So look away or walk away, take a few moments to yourself and see what power you take back.

Prayer: Father, who would have thought that Your breath in our lungs would have such a tremendous effect? You are with us, Lord, always giving us the choice and we choose to follow You, subject ourselves to Your guidance and reap the fruit of peace that results from it. In Jesus name. Amen
