There is an ancient practice that dates back to the 3rd Century called the “The Jesus Prayer” or “Prayer of the Heart.” Early Christians would pray with their breath by breaking up small portions of scriptures, mentally reciting the words as they inhaled and exhaled. The connection between praying and breathing goes back to the Old Testament name for God – YHWH (in English, Yahweh or Jehovah), which is literally the sound of breathing. The word for spirit in the Old Testament and New Testament means wind or breath. It was the breath of God that brought humanity to life in the Genesis creation story. Praying can and should be as natural as breathing.

The book of Psalms is the prayer book for God’s covenant people. In it we find honest prayers that express joy, thanksgiving, awe, grief, doubt, fear, and hope. In Psalm 119:1 the Psalmist says, “I have hid your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Over and over again the Psalmist says that he meditates upon God’s law, love, wonderful deeds, and promises.

This book is a beginners guide to breath praying through all 150 Psalms. This resource is intended to give you a place to start with your breath prayers. This is a great companion for reading through the Psalms. Simply read a Psalm and then spend 5 or 10 minutes with the breath prayer.

God is a close as the next breath you take. In God, we live, and move, and have our being.
