Lovely Biblical meditation app

I love this app. I use it for my quiet time, choosing the Bread Bible readings and meditation. It’s simple, with a great library of options.

I really like that the app feels like a ministry, rather than a business. Also, as someone from a different denomination, I appreciated being able to participate in this liturgy.

Heaven

Found this app at a time that my own mental health was in a bad way. After years of nursing others I really needed some nursing myself. This app was part of my healing journey. So thankyou so much. I continue to use it and refer others to use it to.
May god continue to bless you and the work that you do.
