Anglican Fellowship of Prayer

Prayer is at the centre of the spiritual life of a Christian. It is about connecting and communicating with God.  There are as many ways of praying as there are individuals. Our personalities and life experiences influence how we pray.  Each week the AFS shares a new and different prayer resource for your reflection.

From the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer...

This time between Ascension and Pentecost is a time to ponder and the Breath Prayer supports that idea. The breath prayer is simple and profound all at the same time.

Breath prayer:
                         You in me . . . I in you

Breathe in saying “You in me” … and breathe out saying “I in you” several times. Let the spirit let you know when to stop.

You in me, I in you

          I am in my Abba, 
          and you in me, and I in you. 
                       —John 14. 20

God is infinite;
there is nothing outside of God.
The entire universe is in God.
We are inside God.
Christ, the embodiment of God's love,
is everywhere, suffuses everything,
and we exist within that love,
members of the body of God's grace.
That embodied love lives in us, 
breathes in us, loves in us.
Everything you do is an act of God
if you let it.
