When Tee Unn came down with a rare autoimmune disease that weakened all his muscles and nearly killed him, he realized that being able to breathe was a gift. For more than a week, a machine had to pump air into his lungs every few seconds, which was a painful part of his treatment.
Tee Unn made a miraculous recovery, and today he reminds himself not to complain about life’s challenges. “I’ll just take a deep breath,” he says, “and thank God I can.”
How easy it is to focus on things we need or want, and forget that sometimes the smallest things in life can be the greatest miracles of life. In Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 37:1–14), God showed the prophet that only He could give life to dry bones. Even after tendons, flesh, and skin had appeared, “there was no breath in them” (v. 8). It was only when God gave them breath that they could live again (v. 10).
This vision illustrated God’s promise to restore Israel from devastation. It also reminds me that anything else I have, big or small, is useless unless God gives me breath.
How about thanking God for the simplest blessings in life today? Amid the daily struggle, let’s stop occasionally to take a deep breath, and “let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6).

How about thanking God for the simplest blessings in life today amid the daily struggle. Let's stop occasionally to take a deep breath and let everything that has breath praise the Lord, today's Our Daily Bread devotional Scripture reading is from Ezekiel chapter 37 verses one through 37 through 10 in verse 14 the hand of the Lord was on me and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley. It was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley bones that were very dry. He asked me son of an can these bones live. I said sovereign Lord, you alone know and now verses seven through 10 so I prophesied as I was commanded and as I was prophesying.
There was a noise, a rattling sound and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked in tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, prophesied to the breath, prophesy Son of Man and say to it. This is what the sovereign Lord says come breath from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them, they came to life and stood up on their feet of vast army and now here's verse 14. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord. Let's pray Lord we thank you for the gift of life and for every breath we take.
We pray for the many people in our world who are suffering, especially those with illnesses that make it impossible for them to breathe. We ask for their healing and their pain may they sense your comfort and in their healing. May they praise you for each breath. Thank you Lord it's in Jesus name we pray.
