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.
The app quickly grew in 2020 as the global pandemic prevented people from meeting together, and users found the regular hosts, the pattern of daily prayer and guided devotionals helpful when in-person prayer and worship wasn’t possible. Whilst usually following a set series, morning prayers are occasionally interrupted for global events, such as war, natural disasters and notable deaths such as Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Francis.
Devotionals are currently available in English, Spanish in the Lectio 365 app and Chinese through the WeDevote app, and we hope to include other languages in the coming years.
The model of prayer, inspired by Lectio Divina (morning), The Lord’s Prayer (midday) 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.
Lectio 365 is produced by 24-7 Prayer, a global prayer movement with a vision to revive the church and rewire the culture through non-stop night and day prayer.
24-7 Prayer began accidentally in 1999, when one simple student-led prayer vigil went viral, and groups all over the world joined in to pray non-stop. Now, nearly 25 years later, thousands of communities have taken part in 24-7 Prayer (in-person and virtually) in their churches, communities and cities.
We’ve helped individuals all over the world to encounter God in prayer rooms – now we want to help people develop a daily relationship with Jesus. This is our vision for Lectio 365: to help millions of people to learn to pray the Bible every day and go deeper in prayer each morning and night.
Lectio 365 relies entirely on the generosity of its supporters, we are so grateful for every donation that helps keeps this app free for everyone.
