24-7 Prayer is a global prayer, mission and justice movement. We want to help you pray. Inner Room is an app that aims to do just that. Download, pray and give us your feedback. Help us create the best tool we can to help Christians talk to God. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jesus said, "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father..." Matthew 6:6 (NASB) Our phones can often be a distraction when we’re trying to talk to the Father. Turn your phone into a prayer tool by making it your own personal ‘Inner Room’. Whether you’re at home, college, work or on the move – use this prayer list app to redeem found time and follow through on the things you want to pray for. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ADD TO A VISUAL PRAYER BOARD Capture the people and situations you want to talk to God about by adding them to your prayer board. Add your own photos and notes to personalise it and use suggested categories to inspire you to pray for something new (e.g. friends, family, salvation, yourself or your church, town/city or country). PRAYER PLAYLISTS Pray for one item at a time or group things into personalised ‘prayer playlists’. Choose how long you want to pray for and be guided through talking and listening to God. PRAY ON THE GO Turn audio on and make any run or commute into a prayer session by having one prayer need, or a ‘prayer playlist’ read to you. Also, set your preference for the background music you want to hear as you pray. QUICK PRAY Turn to God, not social media when you have a few unexpected minutes in a queue, on the train or even on the toilet! Use ‘Quick Pray’ and be guided in praying for 3 random things, in 3 minutes. REMEMBER TO LISTEN It’s easy to forget that prayer is a two-way conversation. Every time you pray you’ll be prompted to spend some time listening to God. GIVE THANKS Finished praying for something? Choose to either ‘Archive’ it or add it to your ‘Thanks’ board. As your ‘Thanks’ board grows, the app creates a ‘Thanks Playlist’ so you can be reminded of the prayers God has answered. SET REMINDERS Find it hard to remember to pray? Choose a time and the Inner Room app will remind you with a daily notification. BE INSPIRED Check out the ideas page for promises to claim in prayer, Bible verses to inspire and ideas for how you could pray each day. #PRAYFOR Receive prayer alerts about world events that you can add to your prayer board. Each alert will include a simple way you can pray in response to the situation profiled. SEE HOW YOUR PRAYER LIFE GROWS Check out your prayer stats and celebrate as the amount of time you’ve spent talking with God increases.

Tuia is your daily prayer app. Tuia gathers people in prayer and reminds us that though we may be scattered (distant physically), we are one in prayer. For this purpose, the main features of Tuia are brought together in Daily Devotions, which weaves together Daily Devotions with Bible readings, your personal prayer list, shared prayers and more. Tuia makes it easy to: • Pray, write, and share prayers. • Keep a prayer private or share it with the community. • Follow others and pray for them. • Subscribe to community prayer lists. • Create or join a prayer group. • Be inspired with the included Bible readings and devotional content. The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia is made up of three strands: Tikanga Māori, Tikanga Polynesia, and Tikanga Pākehā. These three strands are intended to honour different cultural ways of following Jesus. Tuia is intended to weave those strands together: to celebrate our languages and our prayers. The text of Daily Devotions is in Māori, Samoan and English. Set your primary language, then swipe the Daily Devotions text for quick access to the other languages. Woven into the Daily Devotions are the day’s Bible readings. The included Bible translations are • Te Paipera Tapu (MRI2012), • New Living Translation (NLT), and • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV). The daily readings follow the schedule published in Te Maramataka (The Lectionary) by the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. This schedule primarily follows the Revised Common Lectionary and Daily Eucharistic Lectionary, providing semi-continuous readings for the Old and New Testaments. The Revised Common Lectionary is a 3-year cycle used in many Christian churches, of differing traditions, throughout the world. On days where the Church remembers saints and martyrs, be inspired with short biographies and special Bible readings from For All the Saints. May all who encounter this app discover themselves bound to one another and woven into the One who gathers us all together: Weave, weave, weave us together, Tui, tui, tuituia mātou.
