Thank you for sharing that with me. I hope you do enjoy saying the prayer. I have noticed that now, after having prayed it with my breathing enough, when I do go to suck in a deep, attempt-to-relax breath, the prayer comes automatically! And I forgot to mention in the blog that this practice sprung up from 1 Thessalonians 5:17 where we are encouraged to "Pray without ceasing." Cool, Christina! Thank you for sharing that with me.

I love reading your blogs and find myself constantly encouraged by them, yet never know quite how to respond. While short and sweet, this prayer is so awesome and I am sure I will find many opportunities to use it. Thank you for sharing this Jennifer.

Something about the most tedious of tasks seems to facilitate the prayer.
