Word First

Go deeper with 372 rich Bible devotionals, original-language study, historic voices, prayer, and optional app blocking when you want help protecting your focus.

A Bible devotional built for depth, not distraction.

Word First gives you a full year of carefully written Scripture readings designed to be returned to, studied, prayed through, and lived with. It stands on its own as a complete daily devotional—app blocking is entirely optional.

Every reading goes deeper Explore 372 devotionals across 22 topics, including anxiety, identity, grief, purpose, rest, relationships, wisdom, and spiritual growth. Each reading includes:

• Scripture in your preferred translation
• A thoughtful reflection grounded in the passage
• A written prayer
• Historical and literary context
• Insight from the original Hebrew or Greek
• Voices from historic Christian expositors
• Related passages for further study

More than a morning reading Word First includes practices that help Scripture stay with you throughout the day:

• Nearly 500 written prayers across 18 categories
• Progressive word-blank exercises for Scripture memorization
• Saved verses and full-reading collections
• Line highlighting and a private prayer journal
• A short Evening Lamp reflection before bed
• Mood-aware mornings that offer a reading shaped by what is on your heart
• Beautiful verse sharing, reading links, and full-reading PDFs

Read together, without the noise Create up to three named rings in Companions for family, friends, or a small group, with up to six people in each. See each person’s candle light after they read. There is no chat, leaderboard, streak, or surveillance—only the quiet encouragement of knowing someone else showed up too.

Optional focus protection If you want help keeping distractions away while you read, Word First can optionally use Apple’s Screen Time tools to hold selected apps until your chosen reading time is complete. You decide whether to enable it, which apps should wait, and how long you want to read.

When enabled, blocked apps show a daily Scripture passage and a clear path back to Word First. Temporary unlocks remain available when you genuinely need an app.

Use Word First without app blocking and the complete devotional, prayer, study, memorization, journal, sharing, and Companions experience remains available.

Made for quiet attention Choose the refined Modern interface or the warmer Classic look, each available in System, Light, or Dark appearance. Word First has no ads, no engagement tricks, and no analytics tracking your spiritual life. Companion activity is shared only with people you explicitly invite.

Word First is crafted by a believer in Oklahoma for one purpose: helping you know Scripture more deeply and put the Word first, one day at a time.
