Most devotional apps are built for everyone. The Daily was built for us. If you pray in the Spirit, believe the gifts are for today, and want more than a verse with a nice thought attached, this is your morning. Every day brings a fresh word in the language of our tradition: fire, the anointing, intercession, the prophetic, and the revivals that shaped us. Each devotional has five parts: - Scripture to stand on - A short reading that doesn't water anything down - A Declaration, written to be spoken out loud and not just read - A guided Prayer for you, your church, and the world - An Activation: one real thing to do today, not vague advice Today's devotional is always free. We don't put a paywall on your daily bread. GO DEEPER WITH READING PLANS When you're ready, walk through a plan: seven days in the fire of the Holy Spirit, a week learning to discern His voice, a journey through prayer and intercession. The app holds your place so you can keep going. DECLARATIONS MADE TO SHARE The declarations aren't meant to stay on your screen. Turn one into an image and send it to your group chat, your small group, or your story. That's how a word catches. A PRAYER JOURNAL THAT REMEMBERS Write down what you're believing God for. Pray over it every day. And when He answers — because He answers — mark it and keep the testimony. Faith grows when you can look back. KEEP THE FIRE BURNING Build a streak. Save the devotionals that mark you. Listen instead of read when your hands are full. Then show up again tomorrow. Available in English and Spanish. The Daily Premium opens the full archive, unlimited reading plans, audio for every devotional, your own notes and highlights, and a grace day so one missed morning doesn't undo your streak. Today's word stays free, always. Made by Ciel Studio, for the Church. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.thedailydevotional.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.thedailydevotional.app/privacy

About

Blessy

Read full description

Blessy is a real alarm clock that turns off one way only: by praying. When the alarm rings, join your hands in front of the camera. Blessy detects your prayer posture on your own iPhone, and once you complete your moment of prayer the morning opens up: a verse for your day, your streak grows, and you begin with God instead of your phone. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set your alarm. It is a true system alarm — it rings even in Silent mode or during a Focus. 2. When it rings, the only visible way out is prayer. Join your hands and stay in prayer for the time you chose yourself. 3. Receive the Word. A different verse every morning, with its context, ready to save and share. YOUR JOURNEY • Streaks with mercy: grace days protect your consistency when life gets in the way. • A path of levels — from Dawn to Watchman of the Dawn — that grows with your mornings. • Milestones, insights, and a calendar of your mornings in prayer. MADE FOR THE MORNING • Alarm sounds composed to wake you gently: bells, harp, strings, songbirds, living waters. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets: verse of the day, streak, and next morning. • In English and Spanish, with Scripture set in a serif face meant to be read slowly. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Prayer detection runs entirely on your iPhone, using Apple's vision frameworks. • No image is ever recorded, stored, or transmitted. Ever. • No accounts, no sign-up. Your progress can back up to your own iCloud if you choose. Blessy is offered as a subscription (annual plan with a free trial, or a weekly plan). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy: https://blessyapp.com/privacy Tomorrow, when it rings, don't negotiate. Pray.
