Description

Daily Prayer PC(USA) provides brief services for Daily Prayer based on the Presbyterian Book of Common Worship (WJKP, 2018), including: psalms for the day, readings from the daily lectionary, and prayers of thanksgiving and intercession. Also included are the Revised Common Lectionary readings for Sundays and festivals, a two-year cycle of selections from the PC(USA) Book of Confessions, and an eight-week schedule for praying all 150 psalms.

The app provides liturgies for Morning, Midday, Evening, and Night Prayer, selecting the appropriate service and lectionary readings based on the time and date settings of your iPhone or iPad. The calendar tool allows users to find psalms, readings, and prayers for other dates. Use the clock icon to select Morning, Midday, Evening, or Night Prayer, overriding current time of day.

The “advanced features” menu allows users to toggle on/off various options in the liturgy for Daily Prayer and select between two versions of the Lord’s Prayer.

A brief tutorial provides information about the practice of Daily Prayer and instruction on using the app.

GREAT AS A STARTING PLACE FOR DAILY DEVOTIONS

I was looking for an app that is available on the fly as a starting place for daily devotions that would incorporate elements of Scripture and prayer. In a simple and basic way, this app does that. Using readings from the daily lectionary and prayers from the PCUSA Book of Common Worship, it gives different selections for morning, mid-day and evening devotions. It is not technologically slick (offering a choice if Bible translations would be nice) but it does the job. In my typical devotions without the app, I tend to follow a biblical book with a few paragraphs each day followed by my personal prayer notes. This opens the world for me with the variety of selections, some of which have led me to sermons or things to share with others. I have not tried the Company of Pastors add on, as I don't have time to explore that. I have an iPhone 6 and have had no problems in operation.

Single Focus Well Executed

This app does one thing and it does it wonderfully. If you are looking for a resource to help develop your practice of daily prayer, then look no further! With prayers pulled from the Book of Common Worship and scripture from the NRSV, this will serve those new to daily prayer and those with a lifetime of experience equally well.

The ability to customize your personal experience (how many readings, version of The Lord's Prayer, etc) along with the fluidity of the prayer service make this an ideal companion for individual or group prayer; especially for those who travel often or don't want to carry both a prayer book and a bible with them all the time.

Especially considering the cost of the Book of Common Worship ($30 currently), this is an excellent value that will enrich your devotional journey!

An aside to those wishing for music for the psalms: With the numerous settings of each psalm (not to mention copyright issues) it would be very difficult to include music. I will recommend an excellent (and affordable) resource: Psalms for all Seasons, edited by Martin Tel, which includes full text plus multiple settings for all 150 psalms. Chant tones are included as well as responsive readings. We use this Psalter at my seminary and it is a beautiful resource for both corporate and private worship and devotion. I believe it is available from Cokesbury, but I am not sure.

Wonderful!

Wonderful to have this daily devotional with Scripture and prayers every day. It provides the daily prayers from the Book of Common Worship for morning and evening each week along with the Scripture readings from the Daily Lectionary including morning and evening psalms. Lovely to have all the elements in order and not to have to juggle books. Perfect on iPhone, took off 1 star because text is too small on iPad, and Bible version is only NRSV. All in all a wonderful app!
