“Breathe”
“Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath,
prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God,
“Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these
slain, that they come to life.”’ Ezekiel 37:9

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale.
Exhale. Did you know there was a proper way to breathe? That, you can release
stress, gain energy, clear your mind with just the way you breathe.
I decree that today’s Reflections
bring comfort and peace to your heart and mind. May it be a continued source of
encouragement and inspiration. Meditate on the goodness of God and allow Him to
breathe into you a new life, along with His peace and joy. May His cleansing
breath wash all fears, heartaches, and pains away, as He restores.
As the world continues to face
the devastating effects of COVOID-19; the loss of life, the loss of a sense of
freedom, the change in how we live from day to day; it feels like we are collectively
holding our breath, too afraid to exhale, for fear of what is coming next.
Did you ever realize how often
we hinder our breathing when we are under pressure? How many times have we told
someone to breathe when hit with something traumatic? Because it is at that
moment that most of us feel like the breath has been taken from us. That,
perhaps holding our breath will stop whatever is happening from continuing.
I have been there countless
times. Your heart is aching so badly. Your brain is tumbling from all that has
occurred. You can't seem to get a hold of your thoughts and what to do next.
Our world is besieged right now by an evil entity in the form of a pandemic
that is claiming lives at an alarming rate, and changing everything about the
way we currently live. Yet, it is not something that the world hasn’t faced
before nor something that the Bible did not speak of; a warning to believers.
Breathe, Beloveds. Take a deep
breath, hold it, exhale slowly, and then repeat. As trite, as that may sound to
some right now; breathe in the strength and calmness of God. Allow Him to relax
your mind and direct your path.
Because, without a clear mind, chaos ensues, and will only make matters worse,
not better. We need a clear heart and mind to hear God’s instructions.
Meditation is a wonderful way
to work on our breathing and learning to clear our minds. In the word of God,
it tells us to meditate on his word day and night. Meditate on the goodness and
promises of God.
Do not meditate on the
problems facing you. Meditate on the One who can solve them. Breathe in His
goodness and mercy. Let His peace envelop you. We carry so many burdens in our hearts. We hold onto so much fear, trepidation, and anger. It's time to let it
all go. It is time to inhale the peace of God and exhale the worries and the chaos
and start following the instructions of God. This
is more than a pandemic; this is a wakeup call for the children of God to get
back in alignment with the heavenly Father. To, repent so God may heal our
land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
My Beloveds, I decree that the
spirit of peace and prosperity has found permanent rest in your lives. I pray
that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident
to you. When a crisis hits, and the enemy is attacking, take a moment and
breathe. Take slow, cleansing breaths and let the calmness of God overwhelm
you. Breathe, my friend. Breathe. You are blessed. Now go…and be a blessing.
