Gathered is an app that is looking to put intention back into prayer. In today's busy society, we continually scroll through prayer requests, but how often do we fulfill those requests. Gathered let's you send out a prayer request once every 24 hours. That request is given to another user and you will receive their request. Gathered was made with simplicity in mind, so that you can spend less time scrolling, and more time actually praying and intentionally bringing God your petitions.

Streams helps you saturate your prayer life with God's Word. The Psalm 1 Christian is a believer who meditates on God's Word day and night. This person is changed by God's Word. God's Word should be like a stream of water that permeates every part of the believer's life. Praying God's Word back to Him helps us align our desires with His desires. Streams helps you learn to pray through Scripture and organize your prayer life to encourage accountability and consistency. Save your prayers, assign one or more passage of Scripture to each prayer, journal your thoughts and prayers, and archive prayers to keep a long-term prayer journal.
