  2. 2

    At that time, they pause

    Open one out of habit and a quiet screen meets you instead. No guilt, just an invitation.

    Peace for the ones I love

    Father, I come to You carrying the people I love. You know every worry I hold for them, even the ones I can’t put into words.

    Quiet my anxious thoughts. Where I want to control, teach me to trust. Where I feel helpless, remind me that You are near to them in ways I cannot be.

    Cover my family with Your peace. Mend what is strained between us, soften what has grown hard, and help me love them with patience today.

    I place them in Your hands, because Your hands are better than mine. In Jesus’ name, amen.

    Amen · I’ve finished praying

    No timer. Pray at your own pace.

  4. 4

    Say Amen. Your apps open.

    They stay open until your next prayer time. In a real hurry? Five minutes of access is always one tap away.

    7:03

    Amen.

    Go in peace, Sarah.
    Your apps are open again.

Worry · about 1 min

When the worry won’t leave

Father, my mind keeps running ahead of me. You already stand in the hours I’m afraid of.

Take what I can’t carry. Quiet me, and let Your peace guard my heart today. Amen.

“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

Philippians 4:6 · World English Bible
