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.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People lose someone they love, get a diagnosis they weren't ready for, lose a job, or carry something heavy they can't say out loud. Thoughts and Prayers is a place to set that down - and a place to pick up someone else's. This is a global prayer list. Post what's on your heart, read what other people are carrying, and pray for them. Every prayer you tap "I prayed" on is one more person who knows they weren't ignored. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGNUP Open the app and you're in. No email, no password, no profile to build. Post under a name or anonymously - your choice, prayer by prayer. Look for "Prayers" on your Home Screen - that's us. SHARE WHAT'S ON YOUR HEART Write a prayer in a few taps and add a category if it helps people find it. That's the whole process. PRAY FOR OTHERS Browse the global list, search for what you want to pray over, and tap "I prayed" so the person knows someone is with them. Leave a word of encouragement in the comments. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR OWN My Prayers holds everything you've posted in one place, so you can come back to it - and mark a prayer as answered when it is. A VERSE EACH DAY A new Bible verse every day, with a place to mark the ones you've studied and share the ones that land. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets put the verse of the day where you'll see it. The Apple Watch app shows the verse and the prayer feed, and lets you tap "I prayed" without reaching for your phone. ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino. QUIET AND SAFE Report anything that doesn't belong and our moderation team reviews it. Block someone and you won't see their posts again. Turn on notifications if you want to know when there's a message for you, or leave them off. No ads. No tracking. No feed built to keep you scrolling. YOUR DATA IS YOURS There's no account to close, but if you want everything gone, Settings has one button that permanently deletes your prayers, comments, activity, and messages. Prayer stays free. Not a trial, not an introductory offer - the heart of this app is free and stays that way. Share a prayer. Carry someone else's. Nobody should have to do it alone.
