With the Lectio 365 app you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them. The app has short devotionals for morning and evening so you can open and close each day with God.
When you pause in His presence, you create space for peace in a busy and complicated world.
Morning: learn to pray the Bible
Inspired by Lectio Divina, each morning the devotional follows the simple P.R.A.Y rhythm:
P:ause to be still.
R:ejoice with a Psalm and R:eflect on Scripture.
A:sk for God’s help
Y:ield to His will in your life.
On Sundays you’ll take a break from the normal routine to pray a different kind of Sabbath prayer.
The app celebrates heroes of faith on Feast Days, marks significant moments in the church calendar, and welcomes guest hosts throughout the year.
Evening: process the day and prepare for sleep
Evening prayer gives the opportunity to focus your thoughts on God as you prepare to sleep. With calming music, the devotion takes inspiration from the early Christian practice of Examen:
Reflect on the day that has passed, relinquishing stress and control
Rejoice in God’s goodness, noticing his presence throughout the day
Repent of my sins, receiving forgiveness for what has gone wrong
Rest in readiness for sleep
Lectio 365 content is available in written and audio format, and devotionals can be downloaded a week in advance to be read or listened to later. Content remains available in the app for 30 days.
The Lectio 365 Story
Lectio 365 is the daily devotional resource of the international 24-7 Prayer movement and particularly of its religious order the Order of the Mustard Seed. Launched in Advent 2019, Lectio 365 has grown quickly to accompany hundreds of thousands of people around the world begin and end their day with God. Lectio 365 is currently available in English and Spanish and we hope to include other languages in the next two years. The model of prayer, inspired by Lectio Divina (morning) and the Examen (night) seeks to “pray the Bible,” exploring the six practices of the Order of the Mustard Seed: loving God through prayer and creativity, loving others through justice and hospitality and loving the world through learning and mission.
