Pray First

Prayer is talking with God — and Pray First exists to help you actually do it. Built by Church of the Highlands, the free app walks you through guided prayer plans, gives you worship songs to pray along to, and lets you keep a personal prayer list so you are not staring at a blank page.^1

The same church still treats prayer as a first response. On its 21 Days of Prayer site, Highlands invites people to download Pray First, follow biblical models of prayer, listen to exclusive Highlands Worship albums, and join a churchwide season of prayer and fasting.^3 Other churches can come along for that rhythm; the app is offered as a shared resource, not a members-only tool.^3

Leadership on the public site is clear: Mark Pettus serves as Lead Pastor, and founding pastor Chris Hodges remains in that founding role.^4 The app itself stays simple — plans, a list, and music — so the point is conversation with God, not another feed to finish.^1

Pray First is free on iPhone, iPad, and Android.^1
