Feeling Down? Try This Simple Prayer Trick!

0:00 | 4:31

Feeling weighed down by worry or sadness? Pause for 60 seconds and follow this “breath‑prayer” pattern: inhale Scripture, exhale your need. Whisper a hope‑filled verse like “The Lord is near” (Phil. 4:5), then release your burden on the exhale—“Lord, I give You my heaviness.” Repeat three times. This simple rhythm tethers your thoughts to God’s presence, slows racing emotions, and lifts your spirit with truth in under a minute. Try it anytime discouragement creeps in and feel peace settle over your heart!
