21 DAYS Participant experiences
(FEBRUARY 2019)
"I did the prayer of imagination, which I had done a few times in retreat settings earlier in my life but had never used repeatedly over a period of time, as I did daily the last 21 days. It was an amazing refreshing of my felt connection to God in this season, and particularly to Jesus within the Trinity. I moved through stories in Mark, and many days received particular and specific encouragement or strengthening from the habit." - M.H.

"I chose the Prayer of Rest, but after getting in to it I discovered that the Lord actually chose this for me for this time.
Two days in to it we had to go to the Washington DC area on a family emergency. My mother-in-law had a
series of heart attacks and went in to hospice. To intentionally focus on things to be grateful for each day
brought a lot of peace in the midst of the stress & grieving. (After 2 days of rain, sunshine! Robins covering
the lawn outside the window! Buds on the shrubs! The young woman who played her violin at mom's bedside.
Calm (mostly) family discussions.) I would also remind my husband to find things to be grateful for each day
and it ministered to him. I was so reassuring to us that God was there in the midst of everything!" - E.E
