Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 NIV
Pressures come in all sizes and angles. Some are imposed upon us from our work environment, school, friends or family. Some of our pressures have been created by our own choices. We either took on too much or delayed actions which now demand adjustments.
Most of the time when we begin to feel anxious, it causes our heart to beat just a little faster. In turn, we begin to take shorter breaths, which results in less oxygen flowing through our bodies. Some at this point begin feeling a little out of control. What can you do? Make a conscious decision to breathe. Make it a slow and deep breath. Then voice a quick prayer and listen.
Johnny Diaz has recorded a song that captures this thought. I’ve included his lyrics and a link to the video.
Blessings Love y’all
BREATHE LYRICS
Alarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor
It’s off to the races everybody out the door
I’m feeling like I’m falling behind, it’s a crazy life
Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can
Trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand
So much to do in so little time, it’s a crazy life
It’s ready, set, go it’s another wild day
When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel You say just
(chorus)
Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe
Third cup of joe just to get me through the day
Wanna make the most of time but I feel it slip away
I wonder if there’s something more to this crazy life
I’m busy, busy, busy, and it’s no surprise to see
That I only have time for me, me, me
There’s gotta be something more to this crazy life
I’m hanging on tight to another wild day
When it starts to fall apart in my heart I hear You say just
(chorus)
Breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
(bridge)
Is to take it in fill your lungs
The Peace of God that overcomes
Just breathe
Let your weary spirit rest
Lay down what’s good and find what’s best
Just breathe
(chorus)
Just breathe, just breathe
Come and rest at My feet
And be, just be
Chaos calls but all you really need
Is to just breathe
Just breathe
