Greatest gift to myself
I discovered this book through the Bible app I have on my phone looking for âplansâ to do for anxiety. âBreath as Prayerâ was the first one that came up. The Bible plans usually do not reference the source of the plan but this one did. It specifically showed the cover of this book with the author. As I went through the days of the plan I so enjoyed it I decided to look for the book on Amazon. Ironically this book was released, if my memory is correct, 9/13/22 & I purchased it that day. It arrived the following day & over the last 2 weeks Iâve practiced all 84 âBreath Prayer Themesâ as they are called. I now have a handful of favorites I entail in daily in my life. The author, Jennifer Tucker, created a beautiful book that truly claims the title of the book, âcalm your anxiety, focus your mind and renew your soulâ I can say using this book for more than 2 weeks the first two truly hold true to the claim. I feel over time the third will come. Her detailed description on breath prayer basics & breathing techniques are helpful to those who are new to focusing on their breath, the inhale & exhale. For anyone who practices meditation this is easier to practice. Iâve been meditating for years. The breathing techniques were easy. I had to adjust my thought process while inhaling & exhaling entailing the words that went with each. This took practice but practice was well worth it! 2 of my favorites I took pictures of. What I love the most with each breath prayer theme is how a scripture is referenced & then she provides her insight on the scripture. She does a beautiful job. At the bottom of the page on the left is the small scripture you will inhale & exhale. âTHE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I HAVE ALL THAT I NEEDâ is the very first one. I practiced this first & within a couple days I had it! I loved that I could use a beautiful scripture & silently inhale & exhale the words which automatically calmed me. These are true silent prayers which calmed my anxiety. My 2nd favorite is âYOU STILL THE STORMS TO A WHISPER, YOU HUSH THE WAVES OF THE SEAâ Iâll say practicing this small piece of a scripture with each inhale & exhale amazingly calmed my heart & head from racing. In learning how to do this so it worked for me I did go to quiet place & was patient with the process. I wanted this to work, felt in my heart this would work but knew I needed to put the time into learning it. An additional benefit to having this book in front of me was how beautifully it was illustrated & how each page was different. Aside from regular book reading I do on my Kindle, this is the greatest, Iâd say, not fully a therapy oriented book, but has impacted me enough to say this book has reduced my anxiety & in my own hands I do it. If you are interested a bit into purchasing this book I say, do it. You wonât regret it. This is worth every penny I spent. I hope the pictures I added give you a great idea of what the inside is somewhat about. This was the best gift to myself & one Iâll be giving to others.

Inspiring!
It was a gift from my husband because I wanted to learn about Christian meditation for the stress Iâm going through. Immediately I loved this book! Easy to read and great illustrations. Itâs already one of my favorite books. Iâve bought 2 for birthday days, one for a new widow and just bought 2 more for last minute gifts. Truly helped my stress and felt closer to God!

Great book
I love this book. It prompts refocusing on the Lord. Calms. Inspires meditation and journaling. I bought several to give as gifts. I wish they had not stuck Target stickers on the front. I bought 4 copies which all had a sticker on the covers. Some did not remove easily. Not cool when youâre trying to buy a gift for someone. Leave your sticky Target ads elsewhere, please.Still an excellent book. Topical table of contents is very handy.

In this charming gift book, Jennifer Tucker combines proven breathing techniques with Scripture-based prayer to offer tools to âCalm your anxiety, focus your mind, and renew your soul.âEveryday anxiety is something most of us experience more than weâd like. And if itâs not anxiety, itâll be something else that agitates or distracts or stirs us up. Settling down can be easier said than done.These 84 short readings and prayers come with gentle artwork. If savoured one per day, they can begin building a positive and peaceful habit. They can be read in order or by theme, meeting the felt need of the day (prayers of trust, direction, gratitude, help⦠there are 12).The book opens with an easy-to-read overview of the idea of focused breathing and brief prayers, grounding firmly in the scientific and in biblical Christianity. Page 21 includes a chart of what breath prayers are and are not, highlighting the difference between Christian practice and general spiritual and self-help practices. The author also points out the difference between anxiety disorder (needs professional help) and the more common everyday anxiety.Each dayâs reading features a truth to âbreathe deep and know,â followed by a brief devotional reading and Scripture verse. Then a page of pastel-hued word art presents breath-sized snippets of the verse to repeat a few times in sync with slow inhales and exhales. I found this settled my spirit and led me into a sense of Godâs unhurried presence.A compact hardcover with lovely art, Breath as Prayer makes an excellent gift book for a friend or for yourself. Highly recommended as a gentle resource for spiritual growth and self-care.

The forward & intro of this book are as valuable as the daily readings and breath prayers. Itâs one of my most treasured books and a favourite to gift to friends. I look forward to early mornings with this unique gem, and pairing the readings and prayers with deep breathing + aromatherapy (i.e. emotionally supportive aromatic plantsâand essential oils of ancient scripture) @DianaJohnson_real (Instagram).
