Weekly Breath Prayers: September 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!

Lord, I lay bare my heart—You know me completely.

For all who struggle to find the right words in prayer, take comfort: our Heavenly Father already knows what lives within us. He does not ask for eloquence or long prayers—only that we come, fully present, and rest in His love.

What freedom it is to know that God sees us as we are—our strengths and our weaknesses, our joys and our griefs, our gains and our losses—and still holds us close. Prayer is not about perfect words, but about the courage to be still in His presence.

This week, set aside a few quiet moments—in the morning, before sleep, or in the middle of your day. Breathe this prayer slowly, and then wait on the Lord. You may discover the very peace your soul is seeking.
