Abstract
The purpose of this project was to impact participants' awareness of God's presence among a select group of current and former members of the United Methodist Church, Paradise Valley, Arizona via participation in a three-day retreat based in the practice of prayer. The design of the project included the administration of pre and post assessments, along with qualitative questions. Participants' journals were also evaluated. The results of the prayer retreat revealed that the participants became more aware of God's presence, God's good nature, and they felt more positive about their personal identities. Participants also desired to continue prayer practices.
