You know you should be spending more time in the Word — but between a full schedule, scattered thoughts, and the weight of real life, consistent Bible study feels impossible. Restore + Revive Journal meets you right there, turning daily Scripture into an intimate, guided conversation with God about the things that actually keep you up at night.^1
Unlike a typical devotional or reading plan, R+R is built around topical journaling — over 76 life topics like fear, doubt, worry, purpose, and identity, each explored verse-by-verse from Genesis through Revelation. Every day brings a new Scripture and three reflective prompts you can answer by typing or simply talking (the app transcribes your voice into journal entries). A built-in weekly Review Day invites you to look back at what you wrote and notice how God has been speaking.^2 You can also add photos and drawings, memorize verses with a built-in tool, export your journal as a PDF, and even have your journal entries printed as a beautiful keepsake magazine. Premium members unlock Bible commentary that digs into historical context for each verse.^3
Founded by Dr. Telisha Ortiz during a season of profound personal struggle with fear and doubt, Restore + Revive grew from her own verse-by-verse study through every passage on fear in the Bible. What started as paper journal cards shared with friends became a full journaling system — app and print — now used by over 10,000 Christians daily.^4
Why Christians Love It"I had been going through the worst valley of the shadow of death of my life. I stopped going to church, I stopped praying and even told God I needed a break from Him. Shortly after I stumbled across Restore + Revive and the daily Bible verses with meditation prompts. Slowly and faithfully God began to restore my soul and revive my spirit. God has since turned my pain into glory." — L.R., Physician^1
"This is NOT your everyday daily reflection. As a full time pastor who has embraced the discipline of daily Bible for over 20 years, I absolutely love the Restore and Revive Journal. What's often missing from daily Bible studies is an opportunity to reflect and put down on paper how I am currently feeling. Adding this extra step has opened up a new level of God's Word." — Pastor Bob G.^1
"This app gets you into God's Word. And with its practical application, most importantly, it gets the truth and life-changing power of God's Word into you!" — App Store review^2
