Have you ever thought about how automatic breathing is? Most of us don't consciously think about each breath we take. It just happens. Yet without it, we couldn't survive for more than a few minutes. In our spiritual lives, prayer functions much like breathing. It's not meant to be an occasional emergency measure when we're in trouble, but rather the constant, life-sustaining rhythm of our relationship with God. When God created Adam, He formed him from dust and then breathed life into him. That divine breath transformed lifeless clay into a living being. In a similar way, Jesus breathed on His disciples after His resurrection, saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit." This wasn't just a symbolic gesture—it was the transfer of divine life. Just as we breathe automatically in our physical lives, prayer should become the natural rhythm of our spiritual lives. Not just formal prayers at designated times, but a continuous connection with the Spirit who dwells within us. Today, consider how often you're "breathing" spiritually. Are you waiting until you're spiritually gasping before you pray? Or is prayer becoming the natural rhythm of your life with God?
