Description

Meditate on God’s word morning, noon and night: Lectio 365 is a completely free daily devotional app to help you pause in the presence of God.

Jesus and his early followers stopped to pray three times a day. You can join in with this ancient rhythm and pray like Jesus did, with three short prayer times to slow down, find calm, meditate on scripture, and experience God’s presence.

DEVELOP A DAILY RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS 
Join hundreds of thousands of people across the globe and learn to meditate on the Bible and respond in prayer. Each morning the devotional follows the simple P.R.A.Y rhythm:

* P:ause to be still
* R:ejoice with a Psalm and reflect on Scripture
* A:sk for God’s help
* Y:ield to his will in your life

COMING 1 JANUARY 2025: At midday, pause to pray The Lord’s Prayer and consider a short reflection to connect with God. The prayer each day will be focused on compassion: getting your attention away from your own agenda to see the world from God’s perspective, interceding for his kingdom to come.

End your day with peaceful Night Prayers that help you: 

* Reflect on the day that has passed, relinquishing stress and control
* Rejoice in God’s goodness, noticing his presence throughout the day
* Repent and receive forgiveness for what has gone wrong
* Rest in readiness for sleep

LISTEN OR READ ON THE GO 
You can choose to listen to the devotional being read, with or without music; you can also read it for yourself.  Download morning, noon and night prayers a week in advance to listen or read wherever you are and save  your favourite devotionals from the last 30 days to return to.

TRY SOMETHING ANCIENT 
Lectio 365 Morning Prayers are inspired by the ancient practice of ‘Lectio Divina’ (meaning ‘Divine Reading’), a way of meditating on the Bible that’s been used by Christians for centuries. 

Lectio 365 Midday Prayers are centred around The Lord’s Prayer. 

Lectio 365 Night Prayers are inspired by the Ignatian practice of The Examen, which is a way to prayerfully reflect on your day.

TOPICAL CONTENT, TIMELESS THEMES 
* Pray about global issues and headlines (e.g. wars, natural disasters, areas of injustice)
* Explore timeless Biblical themes (e.g. ‘The Names of God,’ or ‘The Teachings of Jesus’)
* Prepare for Christmas, Easter and Pentecost and celebrate heroes of the faith on Feast Days

FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CENTURIES OF CHRISTIANS…  
Jesus and his disciples followed the Jewish tradition of praying three times a day. The early church continued this practice, uniting not simply around a weekly meeting but also around a daily rhythm of prayer. This practice  of returning to God over and over again throughout the day helped to launch the church all over the world. With Lectio 365, you become part of reviving this ancient rhythm of prayer in the modern church.  

EXPERIENCE GOD’S PRESENCE 
Time each day to remember who you really are, who God really is, and the story you are living in. Take your eyes off your circumstances and turn your attention to God: deliberately interrupting your ordinary, everyday life to remember who you’re living for.

SHAPE YOUR LIFE 
Learn about the six Christian practices at the heart of the 24-7 Prayer movement and be inspired to build  rhythms of: 
* Prayer
* Mission
* Justice
* Creativity
* Hospitality
* Learning

JOIN THE 24-7 PRAYER MOVEMENT 

24-7 Prayer started in 1999, when one simple student-led prayer vigil went viral, and groups all over the world  joined in to pray non-stop. Now, a quarter of a century later, 24-7 Prayer is an international, interdenominational prayer movement, still praying continuously in thousands of communities. 24-7 Prayer has helped individuals all over the world to encounter God in prayer rooms; now we want to help people develop a daily relationship with Jesus.

Fantastic & Relevant

What I love about this study is that it stays relevant to what is currently happening in the world around you. It isn't something that was written ages ago and therefore dated in places - no, the writer grafts current events into each study. For example, there was a week focussed on the Covid outbreak, another on Pentecost and this week's study has been inspired by the George Floyd murder, which was only 2 weeks ago. The speakers, especially the female, talks with great expression and because it is varied in content style (bible verse, prayer, confession, reflection, pause for thought) it holds your attention. Another great feature is the choice of audio, written words, or both. The background music has been carefully chosen and doesnt distract or annoy. The only disapointing aspect is the fact that the archives don't last forever. I wabt to end on a good point: the season when we were given snippets of Pete Grieg's prayer book were phenominal! It highlighted was a fantastic tool this book is and how even the most immature Christian can use it to draw closer to God. It's simple, honest and very helpful in showing how easy God had made prayer - humans complicste it. I will be buying his book and I highly recommend this app. I have had no problems with it.

So glad it’s helping you pray! Our aim is to stay responsive to God’s direction and global moments. Sadly to honour the publishers of the bible versions we use we cannot leave our archive up indefinitely but so glad you’re finding Lectio 365 helpful.

No sound

Hi, this app has blessed me sooooo much - I love it - but after listening to it happily for months, I am now only able to read it and it’s not the same without hearing the word read.

I’ve contacted my internet supplier who assures me my internet speed and connection are fine, rebooted wi-fi, deleted the app and reinstalled it - (twice), had an 'Apple' technician take over my screen to try and fix it and I still cannot get the sound back. He suggested it’s the app itself and to leave a message here....this is my last chance before I leave it altogether. So I hope to find some help to fix it .......🥺

Developer Response ,

So sorry you have been experiencing issues. This bug has been affecting some people running an older iOS. A fix will be with you shortly. UPDATE: A fix was released earlier in the summer. Hopefully the audio is working now. Please let us know if you experience any further issues.

User friendly and brilliant simultaneous spoken and written word.

I found this devotional app through a link in a Tearfund email and it is brilliant! I like the way I can listen and read at the same time, it really helps me to focus. The format based on Lectio Divina feels ancient yet modern and ecumenical. The length is perfect for a busy day and I like the background music (I have a severe hearing loss but the music is at the right level so as not to distract or mask the words) This is one of the most user friendly devotionals I have found, the combination of spoken and written word helps to soak it in. Thank you so much team!

That’s so good to know the audio is at a good level for you. Thanks for reviewing.
