God of life,
You breathed life into me at first on the day I was born.
You breathe life into me now with each breath, day and night.
When I am busy or distracted or over-burdened, fill me with peaceful breath, your peaceful spirit.
Remind me of the resources, priorities and gifts I bring to each day.
Give me calm and balance and courage for the demands I face.
Help me inhale your peace, and blow away fear or panic or distress.
As your spirit moved over the waters at creation, move over and around and through me.
Help me to see you in the gentle breeze, the wild wind, and each breath I take.
Amen.
