Weekly Breath Prayers: October 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!

Realign my heart to rejoice in another’s joy.

We live in a highly competitive world where trophies, prizes and first place ribbons are coveted.  To cheer for an opponent or congratulate the winner is unheard of...or is it? Joy? Joy for someone else’s success? You can’t help but smile!

Our prayer this week is just that...a request to our Father to enable us to reset our priorities, take a step back, realize that we are all in this game of life together. Even when we are not the number one place winner, there is still room to find joy and happiness.

What you look for, you will find. What you pray for, you will focus upon. So let’s come together to celebrate everyone’s victories. Let us look for opportunities to lift our neighbors up in spirit. Let us sincerely pray to open our hearts wide enough to receive all that comes our way. We might find ourselves rejoicing in someone else’s joy!
