Breath Prayers
Prayer is of the utmost importance - it's how we communicate with God. And I firmly believe in the power of prayer.
You will find prayer woven all throughout my Untangled Blog and the other categories on my website. And the addition of this specific category for prayer makes my website complete: Breath Prayers and Life Songs encompass my website title, and Joy Jots and Purpose Poems tie in my tagline.
And the title was a natural fit. Prayer is as essential as breathing; prayer has been the breath of life to me and my loved ones; at times prayer has been the only sound I could utter with my breath; and prayer has often steadied my breath.
And I pray that the prayers included here, which are ones that I've written and personally prayed, will give breath and voice to prayers of your own.
