I feel like I am wrestling with God. Not even God. I am wrestling with my anger with this world.

“Only the grace of God can get your focus off of yourself and set you free from yourself. Only gazing at the one who left the glories of heaven to die for you on a cross can change your heart so that you seek to serve, not to be served, and care less about your prestige than you do about the good of others. Jesus is calling you today to serve, even as He serves you.” – Pastor Alistair BeggWithout mincing words, when we doubt the goodness and sovereignty of God we enter darkness which only His Light can dispel. We must want Him with our whole heart no matter what it takes to be in His Light and to reflect His Love. It takes strength and courage to take responsibility for ourselves instead of finding ways to shift blame to avoid doing so. No matter how bad things seem to be, absolutely everything is a blessing— the good, the bad, and the ugly. We can either choose gratitude for the gift of life or choose to insult God for not yielding to our human frailty. God will not do for us what is our duty and responsibility to do for ourselves. He calls us to walk with Him, to assume His yoke, and to surrender our burdens to Him. He also is quite clear that if we persist in denying Him, He will in turn deny us. You can find that in the Bible. We repel goodness by dwelling in and focusing on the darkness and everything we can land on to gripe about. Either we use what time we have here wisely or we fritter it away on what is for God Himself to work out, not us. He is in charge. Not us. Gratitude goes a long way toward growing in our personal relationship to our Almighty God.Years ago, when in a similar spiritual funk, a friend sent this short, comical but very candid take by comedian Bob Newhart. It is very helpful to get things into proper perspective.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzD2Hq6A4CcBlessings!

Pray anywhere
I have prayed the Divine Office for many years. [...] When I discovered this app, all of my concerns of ribbon placement were gone. Having the Divine Office on my phone is absolutely the best thing ever! The sense of community is so wonderful as I see how many others are praying at the same time as myself. [...] Now I don’t need to turn a lamp on as I use to when I used the Office printed volumes. It is such a blessing to have the Divine Office in my pocket. Many times I’ve been sitting in a doctor’s waiting room at the time of Mid Morning prayer. It is so calming of any worries to pull out my phone, open the app, and be able to connect with Our Lord at those times I need Him most. I don’t use the audio version much but the few times I’ve traveled, it is so comforting to not have to skip the Office in order to keep my hands on the steering wheel and my eyes in the road. I recommend this app to friends all the time, especially to those who’d like to pray the Office but feel intimidated by the size of the printed version and getting the ribbons placed properly. Thank you for developing this app. It is my constant companion.

Super helpful
I have only been introduced to the divine office prayers two times before I downloaded this app. It is laid out in a way that is very easy to understand, and there is an audio option that will say all of the prayers. There is an option to set reminders throughout the day. I got this because, I didn’t really know how to say the divine office, and I didn’t know what prayer books I needed to purchase to begin. During the shutting down of churches for covid :( this has been a wonderful resource. One cool feature is that you can tap on the “in prayer” link and see little specks of light around the globe lighting up in the area that someone else is praying. It’s so cool to see everyone praying with you and is a powerful reminder that we are all connected and unified in Christ’s mystical body.

Praying with the whole Church
I love this app! Since it is now free and no longer for sale, I made sure to donate the price of buying it, and then some. I have loved the Liturgy of the Hours for 25 years. But I always felt alone when I prayed it. With this app, I am connected to others! I use it in conjunction with my printed Christian Prayer volume. On other days, I cannot get to my book but with the app, I always have the prayers available. I have the printed calendar with my book, but I actually rely on this more for placing my ribbons. The audio is wonderful!! I often read out loud with it. I love that I can change the speed of the audio! I have found that 1.3 is good for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this app. Thank you for still supporting it. Thank you for updating the “one God,” to just “God” change in the prayers. My book still throws me off but your app is right! Highly recommend this. Many friends have it. THANK YOU!!
