I love these thoughts on Holy Spirit breath as expressed by Elizabeth. A prayer, contemplation and meditation in one.
Breathe in
Breathe deeply
Breathe in the Presence
Breathe in the Holy Spirit
Breathe it into your mind
And be stilled
Breathe it into your body
And feel Healing
Breathe it into your heart
And feel Love
Breathe it into your spirit
And be inspired
The Breath of God
Breathes constantly
Bringing Life into our lives
Resuscitating us
Renewing us
Reviving us
For it is very often as if we are starved
Of spiritual oxygen
Gasping for the Breath we need
To give us air
To fill us
And to intoxicate us
With love for the Spirit
And service to its Life
This day and every day
Amen
Dear Joy,
Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. Immediately before I came to read this, I was listening to a song that kept repeating, “Fill me up Lord, fill me up.” We need His Holy Spirit breath so much! Love & Hugs! xoxo

You are more than welcome, Elizabeth! It’s a pleasure to share your beautiful, soulful words with my readers. Bless you, friend! xo ❤
Not just survival but intoxicating joy . . . yes and amen. Felt my body responding as I read the prayer the first time. I’m going back, to read it slower, breathe with its rhythm and truth. Thank you, friend.
It’s gorgeous, isn’t it, Laurie? Elizabeth writes such beautiful, contemplative prayer poetry. I especially love this one and couldn’t resist sharing it here. Her blog is well worth following. It’s an oasis of peace in the online busyness I often long to escape! 😊💜
Thank you for sharing this, sweet friend!
My pleasure, June! Elizabeth’s words touched me deeply and I hoped my readers would appreciate them too. Bless you, sweet friend! xo 💜
