I struggle with devoting time to prayer as Christ did, so I created this app to help the brothers and sisters in Christ to devote time to prayer. This app is completely usable offline and does not connect to the internet for any reason and also there are no in-app purchases nor ads. The links below go to my other websites. Mark certain items for your prayer time, and it will save it to the Prayer History for you to review, Hopefully we all get closer and closer to Christ and His perfect example of how he lived a perfect life, died in the place of sinners like you and me and rose from the dead. Be more like Christ in prayer! With features such as History (showing only notes), Calendar and Statistics, this offline prayer app should help you put the time in for Christ. Buy once for a small price and enjoy.
