A Counter-Formational Political Practice: Breath Prayer

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 with the practice of breath prayer.​ With Jesus, we pray
the words, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done.” This prayer
reminds us, in the words of Pastor Mike Lueken, even if the worst
we can imagine happens in this election season, “Jesus is still
king. The kingdom is still real, and all shall be well.” And it
reminds us that we are invited to join the Holy Spirit in its
redemptive kingdom work.
