Spiritual Practices: Breath Prayer
Overview
One of the driving passions of David's life was to know the ways of God and follow them to the best of his ability. Unfortunately he, like the rest of us, did not always live up to this ideal. There were times he failed miserably, but he always sought to return to the ways of God. In Psalm 25, he captures this desire in prayer. Like David, most of us want to know and follow the ways of God to the best of our abilities. In this breath prayer, we pray along with David's prayer.
Prayer
Oh Lord God, teach me your ways
