Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in\nanger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my\nsalvation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I want to\ncommit myself again with that same prayer as a reminder.&nbsp; Won\u2019t you personalise this prayer and\nproclaim this over your life?&nbsp; You need\nto pray and take deep breaths with each sentence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I\nbreathe You in my Lord (take a deep breath), and I&#8217;m telling my heart that the\nLord is my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I\nbreathe You in my Lord (take a deep breath), and I&#8217;m telling my organs that the\nLord is my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I\nbreathe You in my Lord (take a deep breath), and I&#8217;m telling my brain that the\nLord is my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I\nbreathe You in my Lord (take a deep breath), and I&#8217;m telling my blood that flow\nthrough my veins that the Lord is my God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>o&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I\nbreathe You in my Lord (take a deep breath), and I&#8217;m telling every type of\nillness in my body, that the Lord is my God, and that you will go (breath\/blow\nit out) and that the sickness leaves my body now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My testimony on the\nday of 18 December 2017 was that, I experienced the presence of God so\nintensely, and I could smell the clean fresh sea-air and felt the sea and its\nbeauty around me.
