I have to stop and breathe or I wear myself out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112972195028944426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-63845868365338008172011-05-07T07:54:29.699-04:002011-05-07T07:54:29.699-04:00I tend to hold my breath in heavy traffic and othe...I tend to hold my breath in heavy traffic and other stressful situations. Right now I'm holding my breath over my job security. Thanks for reminding me that breathing out is as important as breathing in.<br /><br />Visiting from the red dress club :)Ixyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196259808212582512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-40484261313995831262011-04-23T20:21:24.226-04:002011-04-23T20:21:24.226-04:00I've been hearing a lot of prosperity preachin...I've been hearing a lot of prosperity preaching lately (not at my church, thank goodness!) and it works my last nerve. Not only does it set people up for a fall (because stuff happens, and sometimes there isn't a reason), but then it makes it THEIR fault. Like if you'd said the right prayer at the right time with the right level of faith, then everything would have been alright.<br /><br />But I am not a patient person. I want to solve my stuff now. I want to be in control. I end up wondering why God doesn't solve my problem, and then realizing that I never let go of it long enough for that to happen! That's where the breath prayer comes in...makes me STOP and chill.

Although God has a greater plan for all of us, some things that happen are simply the logical (Or illogical) give and take between humans.<br /><br />I wish I could say I breathed today. Maybe I can do that tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614392109385268811.post-44453249732257842102011-04-23T17:14:27.101-04:002011-04-23T17:14:27.101-04:00Good point.

Prosperity preaching does a good job of telling people what they want to hear, but it fails whenever something bad actually happens.Dan Bresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150885966715899514noreply@blogger.com
