LISTEN OR READ ON THE GO

TRY SOMETHING ANCIENT
Lectio 365 Morning Prayers are inspired by the ancient practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ (or ‘Divine Reading’); a way of meditating on the Bible that’s been used by Christians for centuries.

Night Prayers adapt the ancient practice of ‘The Examen’ with reflective questions, Bible readings and prayers to help process the day and prepare to sleep.

TOPICAL CONTENT, TIMELESS THEMES
* Pray about global issues and headlines (e.g. War in the Middle East, natural disasters, areas of injustice)
* Explore timeless Biblical themes (e.g. ‘The Names of God,’ or ‘The Teachings of Jesus’)
* Prepare for Christmas, Easter and Pentecost and celebrate heroes of the faith on Feast Days

SHAPE YOUR LIFE
Learn about the six Christian practices at the heart of the 24-7 Prayer movement and be inspired to build rhythms of:
* Prayer
* Mission
* Justice
* Creativity
* Hospitality
* Learning


JOIN THE 24-7 PRAYER MOVEMENT
24-7 Prayer started in 1999, when one simple student-led prayer vigil went viral, and groups all over the world joined in to pray non-stop. Now, nearly a quarter of a century later, 24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational prayer movement, still praying continuously in thousands of communities. 24-7 Prayer has helped individuals all over the world to encounter God in prayer rooms; now we want to help people develop a daily relationship with Jesus.

Ratings and reviews

Love the concept, but I just downloaded this app 3 days ago, (newest version, and my phone is updated) but there is this weird pause/skip, like every 15-20 seconds. Incredibly distracting. It would be so much more effective without that glitch. I don't think I can do the audio anymore. Hope it gets fixed. I'll try it periodically...

This is the perfect app. It's functional and simple, and well-executed. There are no "streaks", badges, or points. There are two prayers each day, which you can download. The calendar shows you which days you've listened and which you may have missed. This is the entire app. Thank you for making this a non-distracting, functional and effective piece of software. It's a blessing to me.

I don't find devotionals in general (hard copy or app) to give the teaching, guidance, or challenge that I expect when approaching Scripture. That said, Lectio 365 stands apart. Built on the Early Church Fathers' pattern of Lectio Divina, this app aims at spiritual transformation. It accomplishes that goal better than any printed resource I've encountered - paper or electronic. Practically, the design is beautiful, the UI is intuitive, further resources abound, and the audio is meditative.
