Technology can be both boon and bane to prayer. Notifications and text alerts distract us, but prayer apps help us focus. (I use two on a daily basis: a morning prayer podcast<\/a>\u2014I listen to it in Podbean\u2014and my own \u201c<\/a>31 Ways to Pray for Your Kids<\/a>\u201d<\/a> offered as an iPhone and iPad app. There’s also Guideposts<\/em>‘ excellent OurPrayer App<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

But there are other ways to turn your smartphone into a prayer aid<\/a> without downloading anything. Here are just six: <\/p>\n

1) Enable Do Not Disturb<\/strong>
\nYou seldom turn off your phone, right? That\u2019s okay. You don\u2019t have to shut it down entirely. But you can use the \u201cdo not disturb\u201d function in your settings (which you can program for set periods) and take charge of your phone instead of allowing it to randomly interrupt. The world will survive those few minutes you\u2019re out of touch. Go ahead. Enable \u201cdo not disturb\u201d (or turn your phone off completely) as you turn your heart and mind toward God. <\/p>\n

2) Set a Reminder<\/strong>
\nThe calendar or reminders function on your smartphone can help you remember to pray at set times daily\u2014or throughout the day. It\u2019s so easy to automate, say, morning, noon and evening prayer times. You can program a reminder to tell you to pray when you leave or arrive at a particular location. When you promise to pray for something or someone, put it in your calendar and activate an alert to help you keep your promise.<\/p>\n

3) Text a Prayer<\/strong>
\nMany people find it easier to text than to call\u2014or even leave a voicemail. So why not exchange prayer texts<\/a> with a prayer partner? People text prayer requests (or post them on social media) all the time. Why not text the actual prayers instead? It takes no more time to text, \u201cLord, help Sue with her exam today; help her to remember everything she\u2019s studied,\u201d than it does to text, \u201cI\u2019ll be praying for you today, asking God to help you remember everything you\u2019ve studied.\u201d Do it in the moment, and your phone becomes a prayer machine. <\/p>\n

4) Pray with Others via Video <\/strong>
\nThere are a number of ways to use video calling on today\u2019s smartphones; there are even apps that allow you to record a video for others to view later when it\u2019s convenient. So why not schedule a prayer meeting with a friend or two and pray together via video call?<\/p>\n

5) Set a Timer <\/strong>
\nDo you find it hard to focus during prayer because you\u2019re checking the time? Your smartphone can free you<\/a> from clock watching. Simply set a timer when you start praying and let the \u201cHallelujah Chorus\u201d ringtone (or something like it) announce when you\u2019re finished. <\/p>\n

6) Create a Playlist<\/strong>
\nMusic fosters prayer and meditation for some people. Why not compile a playlist of songs that turns your heart heavenward? Whether you sing and worship as it plays or use it as background music to your prayers, the right playlist can have you hungering and thirsting for time alone with God. You can even use your playlist as a timer; simply include a set number of songs that will last as long as your prayer session. You can even create playlists of different lengths (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) to use when conditions dictate shorter or longer prayer times. <\/p>\n

These ideas barely scratch the surface of what your phone can do, but just asking the question can suggest more and better ideas: How can you turn your smartphone into an aid\u2014rather than a hindrance\u2014to prayer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
