What Is a Breath Prayer?

What Is a Breath Prayer?
Breath prayers are short phrases from Scripture prayed in rhythm with your breathing. Christians have practiced this for centuries to stay grounded in God’s presence throughout the day.
Psalm 46:10 gives us a perfect one: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
The Practice
Inhale slowly: Be still
Exhale gently: and know that I am God
Repeat for two minutes, letting your breath and prayer move together.
What Science Says
Slow, intentional breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s “rest and restore” mode. This lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, and calms the brain’s alarm center, the amygdala. Pairing this with Scripture brings not only physical peace but spiritual rest.
Try It Now
Close your eyes. Inhale deeply as you whisper, “Be still.”
Exhale slowly as you say, “and know that I am God.”
Do this for two minutes, and let God’s peace settle over you.
