Weekly Breath Prayers: July 2025

Every Sunday, we begin our worship services with a simple breath prayer from Milford First's lay leader to guide us through the week. Below are this month’s breath prayers along with weekly reflections from Deb Johnson. We hope these prayers are meaningful tools for your spiritual life and journey!

I am here Lord- lead me.

There is so much work to be done here on Earth. In our tiny part of the world, we cannot fix everything- but we can be a part of something much bigger than ourselves. Our volunteer team answering the call and going to North Carolina is a perfect example of this. Not only did they perform much needed tasks, they offered hope in the love of our Lord- perhaps a far greater gift to offer for those who are in need.

Lead me, Lord, to where I am needed.

Move my heart, Holy Spirit, to answer the call.

Give me the strength, Father, to see it through when I have doubts.

Here I am Lord- lead me.

We confess our sins with open hearts, merciful God.

Sin is an ugly word- but sometimes our behaviors are ugly too.

If we look deeper, this breath prayer gives us the opportunity to honestly talk with our Creator about our shortcomings. He does not expect perfection, but He does expect honesty. Perhaps being more honest with ourselves and our actions would be a perfect place to start.

While confessing major transgressions is imperative, the more simple day to day choices we make are just as important.
