Breathing

We live moment by moment by breathing--spontaneously, without even thinking about it usually. It is our breathing that keeps our physical bodies alive. Breathe without ceasing. So it is that the "breath" that keeps the spiritual life vibrant and healthy is the breath of prayer. Pray without ceasing. When our "connection" with Him is spontaneous, and when we are sensitive to the needs of those around us, our life in Him is dynamic and effective--abundant. When I find my ...spiritual walk stagnant and listless, it is because I am not breathing--I am not praying. I don't even sense the needs around me. I am gasping for a sense of His presence. "Pray without ceasing" is not merely instruction; it is the essential essence of our walk with Him. It is the "breath" that empowers us with the abundant spiritual life. Breath deeply. Be alive in Christ.
