Your faith can be unmoving even when your world is shaking if when foundation is rooted in the unchanging character of God instead of on the shifting sands of circumstances.

Pray this breath prayer and remind your soul that you are safe, no matter what,
because God is right beside you:

inhale: You are right beside me

exhale: and I am safe.

Looking for a lifeline in the midst of hard, anxious days?

Breath as Prayer is a beautiful & helpful guide to the spiritual practice of breath prayer, a practice that can help ease anxiety and strengthen your faith as you breathe deep, focus on Truth, and invite Christ into your struggles. If you are anxious or overwhelmed, if you are looking for a little hope, a little peace…this tool may be just what you need.

A gift for you: FREE printable pocket breath prayers (and a whole collection of free mental health resources!)

The wild forgiveness of this Pastor-and how he celebrated Indigenous People’s Day-this is real, deep love.

Happy Saturday!
And fresh mercies, clean slates, new possibilities, new habits!

“…take off your former way of life, your crumpled old self…
to take a fresh breath & to let God renew your attitude & spirit.
Then you are ready to put on your new self,
modeled after the very likeness of God…”
