Listen – Day 6

Inhale… Exhale…

“Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature” Genesis2:7

There is no magic formula to listen to God. No ten-point-plan to follow. Because it’s all based on your relationship with our Father. But today I would like to do share simple breathing that can assist you to focus your thoughts on God.

So, first, take a deep breath. And again. Slow everything down in your mind and trust that with each breath, God is there. Waiting for you. Concentrate on the sound of your breath – the air pushing through, your chest rising and falling and as you inhale, think about God. Breathing Him in, because His breath is already in your nostrils. Part of your DNA. Imagine the sound of your breathing as God’s voice. Concentrate on Him.

Your soul needs God more than your body needs air. Listening to Him is what will sustain you.

Prayer: Father, as I slowly breathe in, I want to breathe You in deeply. I want to hear Your voice resonate in my soul. Thank You for Your breath that gave me life and that my soul can connect with You. Amen. ©
