· 1 min read
How a prayer reminder app helps you pray every day, how to set a daily prayer reminder on iPhone, and what to do when the reminder comes.
A prayer reminder app sends you a gentle nudge to pray at the same time each day. It’s a simple way to build a habit of prayer, especially when life is busy. Here’s how to set one up and what to do when it comes.
How do I get a daily reminder to pray?
To get a daily reminder to pray on iPhone, set one in a prayer app or in the Reminders app. In The Pray App, tap Settings, turn on Enable Notifications and Daily Prayer Reminder, and set Reminder Time to when you want to pray. When the reminder comes, open Today and pray through the prayer cards that are due.
Why a reminder helps
Good intentions get crowded out. A reminder at the same time each day helps prayer become part of your routine. Daniel prayed “three times a day” (Daniel 6:10), at set times.
Pick your time
- Morning, before the day fills up. See this morning prayer routine.
- Lunch, a quiet break in the middle of the day.
- Evening, to look back on the day and give it to God.

When the reminder comes
