5 ONE-BREATH PRAYERS FOR OVERWHELMED MOMENTS
1. Be still, my anxious heart. (Psalm 46:10)
2. Not my strength, but Yours. (Philippians 4:13)
3. Christ before me, Christ within me. (St. Patrick's Breastplate)
4. In this chaos, You remain. (Hebrews 13:8)
5. I offer this frustration as incense. (Psalm 141:2)

—St. Bernard of Clairvaux
