ALAN TAYLOR looks at an app to help you pray and one to help men go beyond the ‘common’…
Abide Prayer
Do you sometimes find yourself lost for words when you pray? Or know you should pray but circumstances have pulled your spirit down and you feel you can’t? If so, there’s no need to feel alone: the Abide team says that 75 per cent of Christians are unsatisfied with their prayer life. And the Abide Prayer app may be just what you need. There’s a daily prayer to listen to and pray along with or there are topics you can choose from according to your situation. This app may be just the thing to start you praying regularly. Available for Apple and Android devices.
Uncommen.
No, that isn’t a typo. Uncommen is helping men lead the fight against being common. Men who go to work, come home exhausted, go to bed and get up and do it all again without spending quality time with their families. The Uncommen app challenges men to perform tasks in order to help them interact with their families and friends. According to the Uncommen website, the common man spends 2.5 hours on his smart phone, 3.4 minutes per day talking to his kids and 17 minutes a week talking to his wife. So grab the app today and challenge the other men in your life to be uncommen! Available for Apple and Android devices.
