The world wants you to be distracted and draw you away from God. This app was built to do the opposite: to encourage you to pray, and to help you avoid the days when your focus gets drawn into the world and you forget, or can't find the time, to read the Word or pray. 3 WAYS TO HELP YOU SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD: • PRAYER LOCK: Choose a prayer time - usually early in the morning or in the evening. After the set time, when you try to open any app, it won't open. Complete a 12-second calming exercise and then your prayer with God, to be able to continue. • FOCUS MODE: Need to concentrate for a set period, such as during a church service? Lock your phone for a continuous stretch of time. • ACCOUNTABILITY LOCK: If you haven't ticked off reading the Bible and praying, your phone locks automatically until you do.
