There's An App for Prayer!

They have an app for just about everything these days. Those who make apps for tablets and smartphones think about just about everything. This at times can be a bad thing, though. Often, the more apps we put on our phones, the more we can waste the precious time the Lord has given us. With this said, there are also many good uses for apps that are made for our smart-devices. Lately, one thing my phone has helped me to do is pray. I had an app recommended to me awhile back that I have started using frequently, and I would recommend it to you. It’s called, “Echo”.

Here are some things you can do in the app:

1. Create a prayer list in the app.
It is simple to add a new item to your prayer list. You can even add a description to the prayer item. For instance, you might add, “Scott” and then in the description, type, “Really has some issues... He needs wisdom in dealing with them.” With this feature, you can make your prayer list as in depth as you would like, and you can update it as much as you would like.
2. Create reminders to send you notifications throughout the day.
This is a good one if you would like to pray for specific things at specific times throughout the day. You can set up reminders to pray at any time during the day. 

3. Check answered prayers off your list.
You can indicate when a prayer has been answered and this will move it from your active prayer list to your answered prayers list. You can use your answered prayers list to thank God for specific things he has done in answering your prayers.

The best thing about this app is that it is FREE! You can improve your prayer life for free! Can't beat that!
