When you begin to realize that your past does not necessarily dictate the outcome of your future, then you can release the hurt. It is impossible to inhale new air until you exhale the old.
Breathe
Hannah Whitall Smith
It is a law of the spiritual life that every act of trust makes the next act less difficult. Trusting becomes like breathing, the natural subconsciousness of the redeemed soul.
Pete Greig
In prayer, we inhale as God breathes his new life into us, and then in evangelism, we exhale to breathe God’s life upon a dying world.
James Charles J. C. Ryle
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
R. C. Sproul
God just doesn’t throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
