A simple way to deepen your faith daily and grow closer to God. Bible Study by Prayse offers a minimal yet effective experience on getting started with studying God's word by going through personal study plans and group studies. App Theme Verse: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15 Thank you for giving this app a try and our prayer is that it becomes used in your daily walk with God, and provides a simpler approach to study His eternal and unchanging word.
