Listen "Sighs As Prayers"
Episode Synopsis
Today's episode is about viewing our sighs as prayers, drawing on a generative line from the apostle Paul: "We don't know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words" (Romans 8:26).I recently learned that there’s a physiological reason for sighing. On average, we sigh 12 times an hour – roughly every 5 minutes or so. Sighing re-inflates the 500 million alveoli in our lungs – the little air sacs closest to our bloodstream where carbon dioxide is carried out and oxygen is taken in. Apparently, if we did not sigh, our alveoli would collapse – we need to sigh to keep those air sacs open and flowing. What if you viewed your sighs today as prayers?Feedback? I'd love to hear from you at [email protected]. Thanks for listening, friends. You are loved and never alone!
