We can't live without prayer. We express our love and adoration, make petitions or request, and give praise to God through prayer. In a monastary, a bell rings to remind the faithful to pray, but not everyone lives in a monastary. We can use reminders and even topics of prayer suggestions to help us stay on top of our prayer relationship with God and luckily, there are plenty of apps that offer just that. Here is our list of the best prayer apps for iPhone and iPad.
