Breath Prayers Based on Mark 11:20-25
The withered fig tree
Read Mark 11:20-25. Silently pray the phrase after IN on your breath in. Then silently pray the phrase after OUT on your breath out. Take your time. Breathe deeply. Choose one, a few, or all of them as is most helpful to you. ⁠

I’m new to breath prayers. Maybe you are, too. This practice helps me when things become overwhelming, when I wake up in the middle of the night, or when I’m having trouble hearing God.⁠ How do breath prayers help you?

IN: Jesus,
OUT: Keep me faithful and fruitful

IN: Have faith in God
OUT: breath out in silence

IN: Jesus,
OUT: heal the doubt in my heart

IN: I believe
OUT: Help my unbelief

IN: Jesus, I forgive
OUT: speak a name or situation on the breath out

IN: Heavenly Father
OUT: Forgive me

For the next few months, I’m reading a chapter from the Gospels each day. This is part of the Summer in the Scriptures reading plan sponsored by the Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church. Click Here for the reading plan.

You’re most welcome to read along and to join the Facebook discussion group, Summer in the Scriptures. You don’t need to be a Methodist or attend a Methodist church. All are welcome and all means all.

As part of the Facebook group, I’ve been supplying prayers based on the day’s reading. Feel free to post your prayers and observations based on the readings here or there as well.

May the grace of the Gospels, the challenge, and the call, inspire us to great faith and great good works in Jesus’ name. – Lisa <
