God-Breathed Life into Humans – Prayer for May 4. God’s breath makes someone or something come to life. When God breathes on your effort, it will yield success. Let’s tell God to breathe life into our efforts today.
Bible Verse for Today
“I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37:6b)
Breathing is what makes us stay alive; when someone’s breathing is taken away, it leads to death.
We have been doing our best to focus our efforts on a task we want to succeed in. God breathed life into humans. When God breathes in the effort, it yields success faster. God’s breath also gives strength to the spirit and the body. For us to get God to breathe in our effort, we must have an intimacy with God.
If we are working without God’s support, things might get hard. Psalm 127:1 “A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.”
Psalm 127:1 says we need to let God support us in all we do to achieve better results. We all engage in some kind of work or have responsibilities we carry – we face constant pressure from different areas, such as family, career, or financial pressures. We find these enough to worry, because we want to be successful in everything.
God doesn’t want us to worry, and he promised to breathe on our efforts.
Prayer for Today
You, God, breathed life into humans. Lord, I want you to breathe into my effort. I don’t want to work in vain; I want you to bring my efforts to life and ensure success. Your power works in me, giving me the strength to do what might seem impossible: my job, my career, my education, and my family. I am putting effort into making it successful.
My effort without your breath will be nothing; I need you to breathe on it, Lord, stretch forth your hand, and help me to achieve better. I want to have a success story, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
