Breathe in
Breathe deeply
Breathe in the Presence
Breathe in the Holy Spirit
Breathe it into your mind
And be stilled
Breathe it into your body
And feel Healing
Breathe it into your heart
And feel Love
Breathe it into your spirit
And be inspired
The Breath of God
Breathes constantly
Bringing Life into our lives
Resuscitating us
Renewing us
Reviving us
For it is very often as if we are starved
Of spiritual oxygen
Gasping for the Breath we need
To give us air
To fill us
And to intoxicate us
With love for the Spirit
And service to its Life
This day and every day
Amen

I love these thoughts on Holy Spirit breath as expressed by Elizabeth. A prayer, contemplation and meditation in one.

I am so glad that my dear friend, Joy Lenton, reblogged your words here! What a blessing to me, as the Lord continues to whisper “be still,” over me. Stillness was my #oneword last year, but even as I go forward into this new year with a word of sufficient, I know that He calls me to be still in the learning of the new lessons. It’s His breath in my lungs!

Dear Bettie, Thank you so much for your lovely response. I very much understand the call to stillness you describe and the continuing whisper to “be still”. In every way, I wish you well as you respond to this very real call. How fitting the words of Psalm 46, “Be Still and Know that I am God.” Elizabeth
