This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Prayer In Your Daily Occupation – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1895 of our Trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from François Fénelon, and it is: Accustom yourself gradually to carry prayer into all your daily occupation — speak, act, work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be.
Prayer In Your Daily Occupation


Prayer to our Holy Yahweh has been associated with being the same as breathing in and out. Breathing is not only vital to our biological life but has also been seen as spiritually significant in most religious traditions. In the creation narrative, God breathes life into the nostrils of humankind. The Spirit is the “breath of God,” the animating force that fills our lungs. Jesus, in sending out the twelve, breathes on them as a ritual to symbolize the presence of the Spirit with and in them.

Breathing prayer takes many forms. One of the most well-known in the Christian tradition would be the “Jesus Prayer” that comes to us from our Eastern Orthodox kin. Another, perhaps somewhat less familiar, is tied to the Jewish tradition.

The Jews did not speak God’s name, but breathed it with an open mouth and throat: inhale—Yah; exhale—weh. We speak God’s name and participate in God’s breath by our very breathing. This is our first and our last word as we enter and leave the world.

Everything we speak, every action, needs to also be in the spirit of prayer lifted to the almighty who reigns on high. Be at peace with God, others, and yourself as you go through every moment of each day. Remain in a spirit of prayer at all times.



1 Thessalonians 5:15-18

See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
