I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. Genesis 2:7 NIV “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Acts 17:25 NIV “He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” John 20:21-22 NIV Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” A Shorter Jesus Prayer “Lord Jesus Christ ... have mercy on me.” The earliest attested references to a form of the Jesus Prayer appear in a letter traditionally attributed to John Chrysostom (AD 407). In a “Letter to an Abbot,” John Chrysostom makes mention of using "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy" (and also the plural variant "…have mercy on us") as a form of unceasing prayer.
