Most of us have a smartphone. Often they can become a distraction due to constant notifications and alerts, but they can also be an invaluable tool for connecting with God. Our friends at 24-7 Prayer have build two apps that can be used to help you pray each day. Check them out below.
Inner Room
Inner Room is an app from 24-7 Prayer that turns one of our biggest distractions, our mobile phones, into a portable prayer tool. Jesus said, "When you pray, go into your inner room..." (Matt:6:6). Inner Room is a prayer list app that equips, enables and inspires you to pray, each day.
- Pray for the things that matter to you - Add people and situations to your visual prayer board, then personalise it with photos and points to guide your prayers each day. And use Inner Room's suggested categories to be challenged to pray in new areas, for your friends, your church or your country.
- Easily organise your prayer time - Group your prayers together in personalised prayer playlists, which you can organise by a theme, time, or week. Then simply choose how long you'd like to pray for, and Inner Room will visually or audibly guide you through your prayer time. Or, try Quick Pray and spend three minutes praying for three random items on your prayer board.
- Get inspired to pray - Prayer ideas help people to get creative, with Bible verses and inspiration to help you connect with God in new ways. You can also receive prayer alerts about world events, and then add them to your prayer board.

Lectio 365
Lectio 365 is a daily devotional resource that helps you pray the Bible every day. Written by leaders from the 24-7 Prayer movement, and produced in partnership with CWR, this resource helps you engage with Scripture to inspire prayer and shape your life.
- AN ANCIENT PRACTICE - Lectio 365 is inspired by Lectio Divina, a way of meditating on the Bible that's been used by Christians for centuries.
- P.R.A.Y. - Each day, Pause to be still. Rejoice with a Psalm and Reflect on Scripture. Ask for God's help, and Yield to His will in your life.
- SIX PRACTICES - Each week focuses on one of 24-7 Prayer's core values - six practices that help us live like Jesus - prayer, mission, justice, creativity, hospitality and learning.
- ANNUAL RHYTHMS - We'll focus on seasons like Advent and Lent with special guest writers from around the world.
- READ OR LISTEN ON THE GO - Both text and audio options are available and you can download up to a week in advance to read or listen to later.
