Good Morning!! God formed Adam from the dust, but Adam was not a living being until God breathed into him the breath of life. In Genesis 1:2, we read about a "wind from God." The Hebrew word for wind is often translated "spirit" or "breath." So we can understand the breath of life as God's spirit breathed into Adam to give him life.
The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.—Genesis 2:7 (NRSV)
God is the author and sustainer of life. We live not only by our physical bodies, organs and tissues,...but also by God's spirit dwelling within us. God has given us life, and God continues to give us life.

By God's power, the breath of life remains in us,
...and the wind of life blows over us.
...and the wind of life blows over us.
All thanks be to the Holy Spirit of God, who continues to give us life. Help us to sense Your presence in our lives. Amen.
