Can I Edit the Bible passage.

I thought I had found the right lectio divina to journal, but I cannot edit the passage. I get a different passage every day from a group I am in doing the lectio Divina and this app it’s almost perfect, except it will not allow you to edit the Bible passage. Please change it to be able to edit the Bible passage.

Unresponsive

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the app over the last week but, a couple days ago, upon opening the app, I was presented with the sign in screen. The app will not accept my password and when I click “forgot password” and request a reset link, there is an “unknown error” message that appears. I have tried multiple times over the last few days. I also tried to click on the “app support” link from the App Store but that link did not work either…any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Great app

I am finding this app very useful wile I’m finding my way in Lectio. I had no trouble at all registering and signing in. One small suggestion is to disable screen lock when the timers are running, because at the moment if the screen locks it pauses the timer which extends the time indefinitely. Other than that I’m glad I found this app. It’s especially good when I cant decide which verse to use for my lectio practice.

Cannot edit bible passage?

I want to love this app. But I am getting ready to do an Ingnatian Retreat where they give us specific bible passage to reflect on using Lectio Divina. I’ve tried to edit the provided passage to accommodate the passages I need to reflect on but that seems to be the only thing that cannot be changed in the journal entry. I am able to look up another passage to read, but it will not document that new passage in the app, it goes right back to the default passage for that day. I completely value the passages that are auto populated for those who need help knowing what to reflect on to keep up with a daily routine, however, I will have to resort to using a simple journaling app so I can insert and document my own passages until this app allows the opportunity to edit the provided passage. I hope you are able to make this happen, because there is great value in this app... except for having to be tied to specific passages each day 😉
