Breath Prayer:

Inhale: We have this treasure in jars of clay…

Exhale: to show this surpassing power is from God

Scripture:
“Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7–9
