01
Start with an intention
A prayer intention can be as simple as a name or a short description of what you want to bring to prayer. You do not need to write beautifully. You need a place where you can be honest about what matters and what you cannot make sense of yet.
The app gives each intention its own space, with notes that can hold more detail. A concern for someone else, a personal decision, and a word of thanks do not all have to take the same form.
02
Keep the journey visible
Revisiting an intention is different from checking off a task. Add a dated thought about what changed, what remains difficult, or what you see differently. You can remember a moment of gratitude without rewriting the uncertainty that came before it.
An optional reflection on an answer lets you mark something meaningful. It does not require reducing a complicated situation to a simple success. Some intentions remain open, and the journal leaves room for that.
03
Make room for a quiet prayer time
Choose the intentions you want to revisit and move through them in a focused prayer time. You can linger over one person, pause in silence, or write a brief thought when words come. The purpose is attention, not a performance or a count.
Prayer notes are stored on your device in the current app. They do not sync to the website. Be thoughtful about any backup you export, especially when your notes contain details about other people.
IN AN ORDINARY DAY
From the passage to your own practice.
Create one intention for a person or situation. Add a dated note with what you are asking for, then return when something changes. A later entry can record gratitude, a new difficulty, or simply that you are still waiting. It does not have to close the story.
Begin with Psalm 13. Notice the questions, the request, and the language of trust. Then name one intention in your own words, keeping your response separate from the psalm.
