Breathe, Pray & Live

What do you do when anxiety walks into your home?

It's 9:47 p.m.
A child is overwhelmed. A parent is exhausted. The day did not go as planned. The worries won't quiet down, and the words for prayer seem far away.
In moments like these, most people do not need another chapter to read or another task to complete.
They need a place to breathe.
They need a simple prayer.
They need hope.

Breathe, Pray & Live was created for exactly those moments.

This unique collection of 52 one-minute prayer cards offers a gentle, practical way for individuals and families to slow down, reconnect with God, and find peace in the middle of everyday pressures. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, uncertainty, family tensions, exhaustion, grief, fear, or simply the demands of modern life, these cards provide a simple spiritual rhythm that can be used in just sixty seconds.
Each card follows a powerful four-step pattern:

Breathe. Read. Pray. Live.
With a short Scripture-inspired reflection, a heartfelt prayer, and a practical truth to carry into the day, every card helps transform anxious thoughts into conversations with God.
Unlike most anxiety devotionals that focus on individual readers, Breathe, Pray & Live was written with the entire family in mind.

Parents can use these cards during their morning quiet time.
Couples can read them together before bed.
Teenagers can keep a favourite card in a backpack or on a desk.
Families can use them around the dinner table, during family devotions, or in difficult moments when nobody knows quite what to say.

Because anxiety rarely affects just one person.
It touches entire households.

This book was born not in a counselling office or a classroom, but around a family table. Written by counsellor, coach, pastor, and educator Dr. Joseph H. Um, these prayers grew out of real experiences, real struggles, real conversations, and real faith. They offer encouragement without guilt, hope without clichés, and God's presence without pretending life is easy.

Inside you'll discover:
✓ 52 Scripture-rooted one-minute prayers
✓ A simple practice for calming anxious minds and hearts
✓ Encouragement for parents, couples, teenagers, and families
✓ Practical help for stress, worry, uncertainty, pressure, exhaustion, and fear
✓ A resource that can be used throughout the year
✓ Meaningful gifts for loved ones facing difficult seasons
✓ Gentle reminders that God is near, even in life's hardest moments

If you have ever whispered,
"Lord, I don't know what to do."
If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of family life.
If you have ever needed peace at 9:47 p.m., 3:00 a.m., or in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday afternoon.

These prayer cards are for you.
Because sometimes the most powerful prayer is not the longest one.
Sometimes it begins with a single breath.

Love before you solve.
Breathe before you rush.
Pray before you carry it alone.
And discover that God's peace is closer than you think.
