Pray the Bible is the deepest Christian prayer and devotional app ever shipped. Built for Deep Seekers. Every prayer is rooted in the Barker Chain-Reference — a human-curated library of 7,464 Bible topics and 550,000+ Scripture mappings. FOUR WAYS INTO SCRIPTURE Pray a Topic. 7,464 topics — anxiety, grief, marriage, healing, prodigal children, and everything between. Each opens a Scripture chain believers have up-voted for relevance. Pray a Book. Walk any book of the Bible with a Scripture-grounded prayer companion. Pray the News. Today's headlines, mapped to the topic in your library, prayed back in Scripture. Stop scrolling. Start interceding. Pray from the Soul. Only know the feeling, not the words? Start with an emotion. We surface the chapter of Scripture that meets you there. DISCOVERY LIBRARY — 385+ CURATED EXPERIENCES Never start from a blank page. Five formats, 77+ items in each: 77+ Plans — structured devotionals and study arcs. Daily prompts, paced for the long haul. 77+ Paths — themed spiritual journeys at your own pace. Multi-level, so first-time seeker or fortieth-year intercessor, there's a path for you. 77+ Passages — Scripture's most powerful passages, prayed turn by turn with thematic arcs. 77+ Chapters — Scripture's most powerful chapters, prayed verse by verse with thematic arcs. 77+ Expounds — single-verse deep-dives. Movement by movement, concept by concept, each turn opens further chapters to pray into. CUSTOMISED, EVERY TIME Name the people. Name the issue. Name the season. Your words fused with curated Scripture so every prayer is personal — and every prayer is rooted in the Word. MY JOURNEY — SPIRITUAL WELLBEING CENTRE Spiritual growth you can actually see. Five validated check-ins: Stress (PSS-10); Anxiety (GAD-7); Fruit (WEMWBS-18); Roots (SHALOM-36); and the Christian Wellness Index composite. Fruit and Roots both score the same nine Fruit of the Spirit — Wisdom, Faith, Purpose, Identity, Community, Strength, Joy, Hope, Peace — so you see the gap between today's visible fruit and the deeper roots that hold. An AI Summary reads your numbers and names the season you're in, in pastoral-language prose — regenerate any time. Your Journey Over Time charts six signals (CWI, Roots, Fruit, Stress, Anxiety, Prayers Prayed) on one timeline across 1M, 3M, or All-time views. Every dip links into a targeted Scripture chain. No other prayer app does this. COMMUNITY — THE LIVING PRAYER CHAIN Traditional prayer chains die by day three: someone goes to hospital, a text gets forwarded, and the chain ends up praying for yesterday's crisis. Pray the Bible fixes it. The organiser updates the request → the Scripture-fused prayer regenerates → every intercessor prays the current story. Prayer Wall, open groups (one-tap join), closed groups (organiser-invite only). One-way posting. No feed. No comments. VOICE MODE Listen to your prayers read back to you. For commuters, the visually impaired, or praying with eyes closed. BIBLE-ONLY PRAYER — WHAT WE ARE NOT No guided meditations. No Gregorian chants. No intercession to anyone but God through Christ. Nothing invented from thin air. No traditions of men. Every word in every prayer is either yours or Scripture's. INSIDE THE APP — PRAYOS PrayOS — the Operating System for the Christian life. Every module plugs into the same Scripture spine. Pray the Bible is the app. PrayOS is what it runs on. BUILT BY A PRAYER LEADER, NOT A TECH STUDIO Heath Barker — former National Prayer Coordinator at Samaritan's Purse (Franklin Graham), host on A New Beginning Radio with Greg Laurie, veteran of Koinonia House (Chuck Missler). Forty years of ministry, shipped as software. START FREE Pick one topic. Pray one Scripture-fused prayer. Thirty seconds. The Word is deep. Prayer should be too.

I think I'll find this app helpful for my prayer life and spiritual growth. **Developer response:** Hi BAR112, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us!

Sometimes hard to put into words what I want to pray for and this enhances and helps me. ### 5/5 — What a treasure! *2023-05-12* This app has enriched me and my prayer life exponentially. You succinctly state what is on your heart and it provides an appropriate Bible verse on that topic and AI creates a lovely prayer incorporating heart-felt Bible truth. The next day you receive a new verse and prayer incorporating those truths. The request carries over day by day until you delete it. Using this app to “pray the word “ is pure joy and enlightenment. **Developer response:** Hi Widowswalk, thank you for your amazing review! We’re delighted to hear that our app has enriched your prayer life with meaningful verses and prayers. It’s a joy to know it brings you daily inspiration. Your feedback is precious to us, and we’re honored to support your spiritual growth. May the app continue to bless you! Keep an eye our for a out for our book called Pray the Bible: AI Deeper Seeker or Lazy Cheater. ### 3/5 — Really Nice BUT *2023-05-02* I really like this app. It reminds me of a classic book I used to read called “Prayers the Avail much” only it in digital form. I love how it puts together the prayers with the Word and makes it specific and special to you. However there is a real bad glitch once the prayer has been generated where you can’t scroll to the bottom to read the prayer to the end. I thought maybe the font on the app was too big however there is no way to change the size. The most glaring thing that sticks out to me is that this is a Christian app that prays but doesn’t use the name of Jesus. At the end of the prayer it just says amen. This is major. I also would like to just pay a small fee to remove the ads. I want to focus on prayer without having to watch ads otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose of the app. I hope what I said isn’t too much. I would love to see this app in the hands of the church being used to the glory of God! **Developer response:** Hi Miracledavis, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for taking the time to share your feedback about our app! We’re delighted to hear that you really like it and that it reminds you of Prayers That Avail Much in digital form. It’s especially encouraging to know that you love how the app combines prayers with scripture to make them specific and special to you—we truly appreciate your kind words! We also want to address the concerns you’ve raised, as your input helps us improve the app for everyone: Scrolling Glitch: We’re so sorry about the issue with not being able to scroll to the end of the generated prayers.

We’re working hard to bring you even more tailored experiences, and we can’t wait to share more details with you. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we work to make this app a tool that serves the church and glorifies God, just as you’ve envisioned.
