Pause: Prayer & Meditation

The Resilient program (and book) has been life changing for me. It is the main thing that helped bring me out of depression after three traumatizing events during Covid. I recommend it to everyone I meet who struggles with purpose, identity, and lack of joy. It helped me re-order my hopes and focus my eyes on the true joy and hope in this world and the next. I pray there will be a program soon for young children. My favorite line that I repeat often is. “The story of God has been, is now, and always will be the story of the world.” That reminds me that the best is yet to come! God is with me now and that is enough. I am so thankful that everything in this program lines up with the teachings in the Bible.

I was raised in a Western, free church tradition and did prayer as more of an “as you go” practice. A few years ago, I downloaded the app. I have used it daily. I set alarms at 10am and 2pm (bells) to help me break away to be with Him. I even invite people I am meeting with to join me with the pause. I highly recommend this. This has given my life structure it needs.
