Breath prayers are prayers that can be prayed in one breath and are easily repeated as we carry them with us throughout the day. They enable us to lift up our hearts before God frequently and practice his presence continually.
These breath prayers are from the Old Testament. Many of these scriptural prayers include further petitions to God. Yet these short prayers so listed express the essence of those praying.
