Daily Prayer is a beautiful, ad free, experiential app designed to develop long lasting spiritual rhythms of prayer and scripture reading based in centuries old Anglican rhythms and the Book of Common Prayer. DAILY RHYTHMS Join us as we pray and read scripture in the morning, in the midday, in the evening and in the late evening. Whether you can open our app at all of these times, or at one of them, you can always expect new content each and every day. BIBLE INTEGRATION All referenced scripture is included in the app, from the ESV translation. On the go? Just click the "play" button to have the scripture read to you! CUSTOM NOTIFICATIONS Need a helpful nudge to quiet your heart throughout the day? Set custom notifications for each prayer time, and set the times to match your schedule. We will take it from there and provide you with a notification that will help you establish your daily rhythm. SOUND ORTHODOXY While this app was designed for all believers from all walks of the Christian faith, the rhythms found within are all adapted in some form from Anglican liturgy, and from the Book of Common Prayer. We believe that these ancient patterns of connecting with the Lord have deep meaning in our modern times. LECTIONARY As you walk through your day in prayer and scripture reading, you will be presented with different scripture readings every morning, midday, evening and late evening, taken from the Daily Office Lectionary, St. Mary’s Day Revision, 2018. For more information about the structure of the readings, head to dailyprayer.church.

Knewness is a Christian companion for the whole day — Scripture to read, Scripture to say, prayer to pray, and a Bible you can listen to. It begins with one shift. Most apps hand you a verse to read. Knewness also hands you a verse to SAY — turned into the first person, so it comes out of your own mouth in your own voice. Not "your life is hidden with Christ in God." "My life is hidden with Christ in God." SPEAK — Scripture turned toward you Open the app and today's words are already there. No browsing, no choosing. You see the verse they come from, then every line drawn out of it, in the first person, waiting to be said. Hold the light while you speak. Release when it's said. Two minutes, and a prayer to close. At the end the whole thing comes back to you in one piece — everything you have just spoken over yourself, together. PRAY — written prayers, and room for your own A prayer written for every hour of the day — morning, afternoon, evening and night. Or bring what you are actually carrying: name it in plain words, and Knewness finds the Scripture that speaks to it, a day at a time, with a quiet way to mark the days you showed up. READ — the whole Bible, and hear it too The Berean Standard Bible, all 66 books, in a reader built to be read rather than searched. Every one of its 1,189 chapters is narrated, so you can listen while you drive, cook, or walk. Keep notes on any verse. Build a reading plan that fits your week. DEVOTIONAL — thirty days, in order One day at a time. A verse set down whole, a short reading on what it means where you actually live, three questions, and a prayer you say out loud. JOURNAL — private, and it survives your next phone Your entries are encrypted and synced to your account, so a lost or replaced phone doesn't lose what you wrote. HELP IS NEVER BEHIND A PAYWALL If you are in crisis, the app puts real resources in front of you immediately — 988 and the Crisis Text Line in the U.S. That works whether or not you have an account, whether or not you subscribe, and whether or not a subscription has lapsed. It always will. Knewness is a devotional tool. It is not a church, not counseling, and not a substitute for professional care. SUBSCRIPTION Free to try for 7 days, then $4.99/month or $49.99/year. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. "Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning." — Lamentations 3:22-23
