Breathing as a metaphor, portrays a fairly accurate picture of prayer. Unlike eating or any other activities which can either be delayed or skipped and done in a latter time, we simply can not stop breathing. We need to breath to enable us to do things. Its not another program or software that you run on a computer. It is the operating system. More than that, like our body, we need to stop all activities and rest or sleep to enable each and every cell in our body to be rejuvenated, we also need to have a time set apart to commune with our heavenly Father, to allow our spirit to be rejuvenated.
