| | Dear Friends,Do you remember the “Day of Delighting in the Lord” you experienced on the Journey to the Heart? This day is a highlight for many who participate in the Journey as they put a special focus on delighting in the Lord through spending time in prayer and in the Word.
As you will remember, one key aspect of that day is the hour of prayer. During this hour, participants use a suggested prayer guide that divides the time up into five minute sections with various prayer focuses. The hour goes by quickly as it is spent in earnest prayer on each section.
Building on this idea, we want to encourage you to participate with us in a 21-Day Prayer Challenge during the month of January! The idea of the Challenge is that every day of the first three weeks of the new year you spend at least least one hour in prayer.
Will you consider joining us in this 21-day endeavor? Here are the details: - When: January 1–21, 2025
- Where: Your prayer closet (Note: On January 21, the final day of the challenge, a virtual prayer meeting will be held for those who participated to thank the Lord for all He has done.)
- How: Sign up at our website here to receive daily email reminders featuring a prayer focus, Scripture verse, and a quote on the topic of prayer.
- Why: Because to pray is a command, a privilege, and should be a priority in our lives as believers.

We understand setting aside an hour each day for personal prayer will require discipline and probably reprioritizing our schedules. But we believe that those who participate in this challenge will indeed find these prayer times to be what the old hymn writer called a “sweet hour of prayer”!

| We hope you can join us in 2025 for the 21-Day Prayer Challenge. We are looking forward to all that God will do in our lives and hearts during this special time!
In Christ,
