Daily prayer app, a simple way to pray every day
· 3 min read
What a daily prayer app does, what the Bible says about praying every day, and how The Pray App shows only today's prayers, with a reminder and no guilt.
A daily prayer app helps you pray every day by showing you who and what to pray for today, reminding you at the time you choose, and keeping it short enough to keep. The Pray App does that with a daily list of your own prayer cards, a Bible verse on each, and no guilt when you miss a day.
What does a daily prayer app do?
A daily prayer app gives you a short, manageable list of prayers for today instead of everything at once. It reminds you at a set time, puts Scripture in front of you, and keeps track of the days you’ve prayed and how God has answered. A good one makes starting easy, so prayer becomes part of your day rather than one more task you feel behind on.
What does the Bible say about praying every day?
The Bible shows God’s people praying daily, at set times. Daniel “got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God” (Daniel 6:10, ESV). David wrote, “Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice” (Psalm 55:17, ESV). Peter and John went to the temple “at the hour of prayer” (Acts 3:1, ESV).
Jesus taught us to ask for “our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11, ESV), a prayer meant for every day. And when we miss a day, God’s “mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23, ESV).
How do you keep a daily prayer habit?
A daily prayer habit lasts when it’s small and specific:
- Same time, same place. Morning works for many, but any time you’ll keep is right.
- A short list. Pray for a few people each day, not everyone. Spread the rest across the week.
- A reminder. A nudge at your prayer time.
- Start again. Miss a day, and simply pray the next one.

How does The Pray App help you pray every day?
The Pray App shows only the prayers due today. Each prayer card is set to come up Daily, Weekly on the day you pick, or Monthly on the dates you pick, under Repeat. Today on Home lists the cards that are due, with about how long they’ll take, and the dots across the top show the days you’ve prayed this week.
Today shows only what’s due, so each day’s list stays short.
Tap Start praying and go through the cards one at a time. To get a nudge each day, tap Settings, turn on Enable Notifications and Daily Prayer Reminder, and set Reminder Time. Journey keeps your total days of prayer, answered prayers, and the prayers you’re still bringing to God.
Is The Pray App right for you?
The Pray App fits Christians who want to pray daily for their own people and needs, with a verse on each prayer, on an iPhone. It doesn’t give you a written prayer of the day or a devotional to read. If you want a short daily list of who to pray for and a gentle reminder, it was built for that. See also prayer reminder app.
The Pray App is free on the App Store, with no ads. See how to pray through today’s cards.
