Hallow: Prayer & Meditation 4+

God Speaks Back….

I subscribed to the Hallow app on Ashe Wed. That night my 9yr old daughter was struggling to fall asleep. She came to get me and I tried my best to not grow annoyed like I can easily do by that time of day. I got out of bed and sat with her in her room to hear what was on her mind. She said, “I’m worried about the Chinese balloon…” 😒 I wasn’t aware she knew anything about its existence! I didn’t have the mindset to try to explain any of that so I asked if she wanted to listen to the app. It has tons of prayers, studies & mental health tips and we chose one of the 5-minute bedtime meditations entitled “let go of worry”. It started with “take a slow deep breath” (which Lord knows I say a million times a day to my kids, patients, & friends! My kids sometimes just huff at me and won’t apply the advice but since the APP was giving the instructions, she was so into it 🧘🏽‍♀️). And THEN the prayer opened up by saying “Imagine that each one of your worries is like a balloon…🎈” eventually letting it go up to God! I looked at my daughter and I’m like, we are literally sitting here worried about a balloon!! She started laughing and said “Mama I can’t believe that. We were just talking about balloons!” I simply said “Just remember God is always listening, sweetheart. Sometimes He will speak back -we just had be quiet & hit play!”

Thank you for this wonderful app. I’ll be scrolling though all the options beyond these 40 days!

Hallow app

Thank you for your wonderful app and your employee, Tina. She was the best! Tina was so helpful, patient and kind when I was so frustrated that I think about six months I was trying to get back on with Hallow. Even working with my tech person at St. John Neumann,Sunbury, Ohio. Jackie couldn’t get on either until just this past week. She worked with Tina a few times too! Such a hassle!!! Tina is a gem! That is why we gave the five stars, and of course the beautiful offers that hallow has. Quite a few of my friends won’t even try because it is so very difficult to subscribe. I had tried since the offer after lent for 20% off cost special.
My husband missed praying together with the app and couldn’t get it to accept, etc. I was up to close to 172 and then it would start all over.
I don’t sound like a very kind person, but I am! I would like to say about Tina: kind, loving, caring, patient, passionate and compassionate. I wanted to give up and she encouraged me to persevere. She is amazing, awesome,very faithfilled, positive and on and on the accolades are for her! May Jesus bless her 100 fold! Thank you so very much for listening.
I value and appreciate her extension on my subscription. My husband and I so enjoy what Hallow offers. Please just make the technology better available and user friendly. Peace and hope be with you, Barbara McKinley

Hesitate no more

Cradle Catholic of 58 years. I saw and heard about this app and have always blown it off. Why do I need an app, been praying my whole life?

This is different and I’m so glad I decided to spend the money for this. It’s so well done. There is so much to choose from. For me, I started with the beginning of Lent and joined the Pray 40 challenge. I figured I can use the extra prayers, why not? The very first episode had me in tears about humility. In one daily reading, I completely changed my way of approaching prayer. No longer has it been a praying for something good for me or like that. It’s become a daily reflection on my life and how to listen to what God is saying to each of us. Amongst so many other things.

I encourage anyone who has been hesitating as I was to take the plunge especially during Lent and start your own daily routine. I encourage you to listen to the first episode on humility from the Pray40 challenge. It will really speak to you. I also love this app for the amazing Hollywood actors who are part of the daily readings (I mean in this day and age, who would have thought? They’re fantastic!), and also the other regular guest speakers who are in the daily prayers. Their lived experiences truly add to the effect of this app.
