Dear Lord; Happy Monday Father!<\/p>\n
Following our last conversation Father, I spent quite a bit of time this last couple days talking to<\/span><\/em><\/strong> You.\u00a0 As You know, last week was very long and complicated and I went into the weekend extremely stressed and emotionally exhausted.\u00a0 Spending more time in Your Presence this weekend absolutely helped me focus on my priorities, and gain peace for the week ahead.\u00a0 Thank You so much for that.<\/p>\n Shannon and I are also still working to get over this nasty respiratory bug we\u2019ve had.\u00a0 It\u2019s almost over with I think, but my chest still gets tight now and again requiring breathing treatments to open things back up.\u00a0 Driving home tonight, it dawned on me that those treatments and my time spent communing with You this weekend both served a similar function.<\/p>\n They both helped me to breathe.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n While the Albuterol inhalation helps to relax and open my air pathways and loosen up my chest so that I can get air efficiently, my time spent in prayer and absorbing Your Word provides the same relief for my spirit.\u00a0 It opens my mind and my heart, and allows Your Love and Calming Influence in.\u00a0 My lungs need air, my soul needs You.<\/p>\n Nebulizer treatments for the spirit\u2026\u00a0 Ahhh.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your continued Presence in my life; You clear my focus, and renew my tired soul.\u00a0 I pray that Your Divine \u201cBreathing Treatments\u201d<\/em> bring that miraculous healing to all those in need.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Happy Monday Father!
