This guided practice is a part of our series The Liturgy of Politics. As we seek to untangle ourselves from the partisan liturgies of our culture, we are engaging counter-formational practices. In this practice, we respond to the partisan liturgy of fear and anxiety with the practice of breath prayer.​

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done.”

This simple, repeated prayer reminds us, in the words of Pastor Mike Lueken, even if the worst we can imagine becomes a reality in this election season, “Jesus is still king. The kingdom is still real, and all shall be well.” This breath prayer offers important perspective, and it reminds us that we are invited to join the Holy Spirit in its redemptive kingdom work.
