Struggling to stay consistent in prayer? Inner Room, from the team behind the global 24-7 Prayer movement, turns your phone from a distraction into a quiet, personal prayer space.^1 Inspired by Matthew 6:6 — "when you pray, go into your inner room" — the app helps you capture prayer needs on visual cards, organize them into prayer pots, and follow through with guided or self-paced prayer times.^2
The app was completely rebuilt in 2026 with a prayer-first philosophy: no social pressure, no noise, no clutter.^3 Standout features include customisable prayer cards for expressing what matters most, Guided Prayers rooted in Scripture for when you don't know where to start, Daily Prayers from 24-7 Prayer that connect you with the global prayer community, and a distraction-free environment that keeps your prayer data completely private.^3 You can schedule a prayer time and the app will remind you — and when the moment comes, an optional focus mode can block your social apps so everything stops for you and the Father.^10 Background music can play while you pray through your requests, and personal prayers are stored offline so they're always available, even without a connection.^11 The app is free with no ads, requires no account, and never reads, analyses, or shares your prayer content.^2
Tyler Staton, Board Chair of 24-7 Prayer USA and Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, helped shape the app alongside the broader 24-7 Prayer team.^4 The Praying in Color podcast — a one-season series hosted by Tyler Staton with guests like Pete Greig, John Mark Comer, Rich Villodas, Jon Tyson, Katia Adams, and Jonathan & Melissa Helser — explores practices like silence and solitude, adoration and lament, listening prayer, contemplative prayer, intercession, confession, creativity in prayer, and prayer as a communal practice.^5 A companion guide with reflection questions, Scripture meditations, and weekly exercises accompanies each episode, connecting the podcast directly to the app as a practical tool for building daily prayer rhythms.^5 Churches across the UK, Australia, Canada, and the US recommend Inner Room as a companion for regular prayer life, including Arun Church and Good Shepherd Carshalton for Lent 2026.^7 24-7 Prayer also partners with YouVersion, contributing Guided Prayer and Guided Scripture content to the Bible App during events like the Global Week of Prayer.^12
Why Christians Love It"This app is amazing and really helps me to pray and focus on praying. It's so simple to use and keep track." — Jason^3
"I would often come to pray but end up not really knowing who to pray for and what to focus on. This app has helped me structure my prayer time, pray for a bigger variety of things and learn to listen to God whilst praying." — Mark^3
"I appreciate the library of guided prayers and the ability for those to integrate with personal prayers. Also the option to have music play while praying through requests is clutch! Well done on the new app!" — Eclectic Movie Goer^11
