Thank you! I needed this reminder to “breathe” and be thankful for that breath! And then I can expand that gratitude to include more!

So glad you are experiencing the space to breathe. I pray God continues to meet you there.

This reminded me of "Practicing the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence, and how all day long we are having a conversation with our Creator. We are in a series at church on the different kinds of prayer - I didn't realize there are so many kinds! Thanks for sharing, Brianna.

That is one of my favorite books! What an invitation to live in the presence of God and find Him in all we do. I also love that your church is holding space for this subject as well!

Yes yes yes. I’ve been saying “this too is prayer” a lot lately. With you in these trenches!

I too needed this today. A beautiful writing. I love and enjoy the privilege of prayer but feel like I may not do it enough. I trust in Gods presence to a point that perhaps I take advantage of it in a way? But thinking about living as prayer is pretty cool. I’ve often agonized over the “pray without ceasing” verse. Like it’s some kind of undoable commandment. But I guess if we live as prayer then we’re doing it🥰🙌😇🕊️❤️

Yes Cliff, what beautiful questions and reflections. I do believe that our living, breathing, and noticing of the holy is such a beautiful form of "praying without ceasing."
