Lovely devotional with a great hook at the beginning.
This is a nice devotion. You did a great job of finding the perfect Scriptures to go with your message.

The one thing you might want to consider is to share a personal story and avoid the universal you. I think that pulls the reader in more. Also make sure you have complete sentence. For example you could do something like this for your opening line:
My heart pounded as I waited for test results from the doctor's office. When the phone finally rang, I jumped and realized I had been holding my breath.

That may not be perfect, but many readers would nod their heads knowing what that feels like.I feel more of a connection to the author when she shares a part of her life.

You did have a nice lead in to your message either way though. Your message itself is a good one and is similar to my message this week. We need to inhale deeply and bring God into our lives more often.
Congratulations for ranking 9th in your level! (The highest rankings can be found on the message boards.)
