Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me.
This simple prayer formed the bedrock of meditation for Christians ever since the first century. I have found that it can be said silently (or aloud) with the rhythm of breath. It serves to regulate breathing into a slow, steady pattern.
The Apostle Paul once advised followers of Jesus to pray without ceasing. Many have used this prayer as a tool to assist in that discipline. Pause often during the day to simply remember this prayer. It helps.
