Breath
Prayer

Check out one of my Pop-Up Prayers
A Breath Prayer is a short prayer repeated frequently throughout the day or night, in times of calm and times of stress, anytime it comes to your mind. Breath Prayer is an ancient form of prayer, found in writings as early as the second century when Christians repeated breath prayers to develop the habit of praying without distraction. This form of prayer comes from the Hebrew word ruach, which is translated "wind," "breath," or "spirit."  Discovering a Breath Prayer is a spiritual practice that allows each one of us the opportunity to make prayer a part of our daily life. We “discover” a personal breath prayer as it arises from deep within …

Breath Prayer is primarily a prayer of praise and petition.  The Jesus Prayer is the most famous breath prayer.  Here is short version of The Jesus Prayer that is easily breathed.
Breath in a "name for God" ... Lord Jesus Christ
Breath out your deep desire ... Have mercy
