Are you ready to take a Deep Breath? One of the hardest parts of following Jesus is His command to us in Mark 8:34: "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
Jesus is summarizing the essence of discipleship. It’s actually simple: Deny yourself and follow Him. In a world that’s all about self-fulfillment and personal ambition, Jesus' invitation to let go of our personal desires is really hard to put into practice. How can you lean into this today?
Go ahead and SHARE this Deep Breath Devotional with a friend or a family member who could use some encouragement today.
LEARN MORE ABOUT DEEP BREATH DEVOTIONALS:
You’ll notice that each Deep Breath devotional uses breath prayers, which are short, one-sentence prayers rooted in Scripture and aligned with your breathing. The first half of the verse is prayed while inhaling and the second half is prayed while exhaling. Breath prayers are an ancient tool used by Christians for thousands of years as a way to meditate on Scripture by actively taking God’s words into your soul and reflecting on them. It’s our hope these simple prayers will help relax your body, renew your mind, and restore your soul! You’ll enter the day feeling connected to Christ rather than consumed or overwhelmed by all the cares swirling around you.
Deep Breath is a daily devotional that you can access daily on KZfaq or via the Liquid Church App available in the App or Play Store. Each devotional is designed to help you start your day off right with a dose of Scripture, guided prayer, and some encouragement.
We also recommend the book “Breath As Prayer: Calm Your Anxiety, Focus Your Mind, And Renew Your Soul,” by Jennifer Tucker. The book contains 80 unique breath prayers, so you can draw closer to God!
