About

PutGodFirst

Features
Read full description

Like Daniel, a habit of putting God first — three times a day. Daniel got down on his knees to pray three times a day (Daniel 6:10). PGF (Put God First) brings that rhythm into everyday life — write down scripture and a short reflection each morning, then return to it in prayer at midday and evening. ▪ Morning — log today's scripture, the word given to you, and a short reflection ▪ Midday & Evening — see your morning entry again and be led into prayer ▪ Stats — your weekly check-ins and streak, at a glance ▪ Set different reminder times for each day of the week Groups (paid plan) Create a small group with fellow believers using a single invite link. See each other's daily scripture, reflections, and morning/midday/evening prayer check-ins — and quietly let someone know you prayed with them. PGF's core features work entirely free, on-device, with no account required. No ads, no tracking — just scripture and prayer. Terms of Use: https://pgf.novaric.kr/en/terms.html
