And God breathed life into man

From The Healthy American:

 God breathed into man the breath of life, and man became a living soul

The breath is the most important thing in life.

The breath is what keeps you alive.

Without the breath, your life ceases.

Yes, your soul is eternal --

But your physical body requires oxygen to survive.

I have long revered the breath as the sacred link to my Creator.

Breathing in, I connect to life, to the source of my life;

Breathing out, I release what is no longer needed.

Inhaling, I create energy;

Exhaling, I feel peace.

Inhale.... energy, life, light!

Exhale... calm, light and free.

I feel free.

I will never obstruct my God-given breath to please man.

I seek to honor God.

I will not bow to evil.
