I recently discovered a smartphone app that allows me to better organize my prayer life. It is the PrayerMate app, and it is available for both Android and iOS.
This app is fully customizable, and allows you to build your own categories. It allows you to integrate Bible passages, many of them downloadable directly from the app, into your prayer time, Additionally, PrayerMate will give you a notification as to when to pray if you desire. What I really like is the fact that you can tell it how many items from each category you want to pray about during each session.
For example, let’s say that you have a list of 20 missionaries that you pray for on a regular basis. I find that if I try to tackle the entire list each day that I offer only very superficial prayers on their behalf, such as “Lord, bless all of these missionaries. With PrayerMate I can specify that I will pray for 3 of these each day. As a result I am only praying for each missionary once per week, but I am praying earnestly for each one. I have come to believe that depth is more important than frequency.
One last thing, this app is FREE for both Android and Apple.
