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.
