If Jesus Could
If Jesus could transform
common water
into wedding wind
spit and dirt
into new sight
troubled sea
into a pathway
well water
into living water
Could Christ transform
the waters of my life
shallow
murky
polluted
stagnant
sour
into a shower
of blessing?

Spiritual Practices: Breath Prayer
Overview
We frequently see meme's about Jesus turning water into wine on social media. It is a story that most of us have at least a passing familiarity with. There are a lot of different things we can take away from this story. One of the ways I like to look at this is from the perspective of the water. Jesus took something ordinary and made it something extraordinary. He took something that was normal and made it special. If Jesus can take ordinary water and make an extraordinary wine, he can take me and make me something new as well. That is what this breath prayer is about.
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, make me something new
