An app to help you pray

The app gives no answers. It asks questions.

1. 01

   A flame for every day

   The lamp on the home screen glows brighter on the days you pray. Seven dots show the last seven days — a quiet reminder, not a contest.

   
2. 02

   Choose a topic and a time

   Write what you bring to God, or start an open prayer. Pick 5, 15 or 30 minutes, an hour, set your own time, or pray with no timer at all.

   
3. 03

   Questions that lead deeper

   During prayer, Lampada asks questions about your topic, written by AI. They are only prompts — you can skip any of them.

   
4. 04

   Answer in your own words

   Type your answer to the question; it is saved in your journal. If you allow it, your answers are sent to the server so the AI can shape the next question and the Scripture passages around them.

   
5. 05

   Or say it aloud

   If you would rather not type, record your answer with your voice. A recording can be turned into text with one tap.

   
6. 06

   Scripture that fits your prayer

   Lampada picks Bible passages by the meaning of your topic and answers. Listen to them and save the ones you want to keep.

   
7. 07

   A closing thought

   At the end, Lampada asks one last question. Write a line or two to take with you — it is saved with the prayer.

   
8. 08

   Your prayer journal

   Your prayers are kept in a journal: topic, answers, recordings and saved passages. It stays on your device, and you can search it.
