Love it!

Simple and functional prayer app based on the writings of Thomas Keating. It helps me engage with the Lord each day.

Grateful

I am grateful to Contemplative Outreach for developing such a useful tool for my spiritual growth.

Centering Prayer App

This App does help me to make Centering Prayer a daily prayer practice. So many of the Beginning and Closing prayers inspire me that I rotate them periodically. There are days when I need to adjust the time interval. I am grateful for the gift of this App and the leadership of all the contemplative souls who contribute to our access.

Each day

If my day starts in a flurry and I don’t take this time to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD my day just doesn’t go right.

Simple and Inspiring

This app provides basic guidance and helps me pray and meditate daily. I love that you can pick quotes from the scripture to begin and end.

Great app, has all the features I need

This app is wonderful- it’s got audio cues to let you know when to begin and end your practice. It also allows you to pause in case you need to stop for any reason. The app also stays on, so if you are worried about the phone turning off and then you’re just sitting in silence for too long - that won’t happen! I love all the audio cues and the fact you can add scripture or psalms or even quotes from saints before and after your practice. This is a must-have app for all centering prayer folks! I’m using it twice a day this Lenten season and loving it.

Great resource

I like the choices this Ap provides for starting and ending sounds, for starting and ending reflections, and even for screen background theme.

Focus on what matters

This app helps me feel closer to God. I combine the practice with a few more apps and helps make the week way less stressful

A great way of calming self

This app is great I love the way it helps me to stay focused on scripture and to meditate on it also helps me center in my Lord Jesus Christ

Long time user

I’ve used this app for several years now and recommend for anyone looking for a simple format to enhance your meditation time. I wish there were more backgrounds available. It would refresh the interface. Thank you for this wonderful resource!

This is Blessed time

This app is so appreciated for its beauty and simplicity. Thank you❣️💞💖

Wondrous

It is a wonderful way to pray in silence.

Horrible

The sound doesn’t work, there’s no settings to adapt for the prayers or music to be heard. Other than the bongs.

Love it but desire one new feature

Like my silent prayer practice itself, I have used this app often for a long time, but more recently started using it every day. It’s wonderful! I love everything about it except for its inability to let me write in anything speaking to my heart for the opening and closing prayers, including my sacred word, my own prayers or scripture selections. I so wish and pray for that improvement, but otherwise everything about the app is perfect for me. Thank you so much for this wonderful blessing! 🙏🏼

Joy

The app allows me to get centered with God in the morning. I has grown spiritual by using it. Thank you!

Highly recommended

Great app, I use these daily and has helped me improve my spiritual journey

Life Changing App

This app provides not only a timer, which allows you to concentrate rather than checking the clock constantly, it also provides a number of opening prayers/meditations to use as openings and closings to your prayer practice.

A Blessing with Room to Grow

I really enjoy using this app; it’s been such a blessing, and I find myself using it often. To make the experience even better, I’d love to see two improvements:

• It would be wonderful if the opening and closing thoughts could be read aloud, so I can keep my eyes closed and fully reflect.
• It would also help if the text size could be increased, since the current font feels quite small.

These changes would make the app even more accessible and enriching.
