In a world that rarely stops talking, The Quiet Collection offers something counter-cultural: permission to be still. Created by New York Times bestselling author and spiritual director Emily P. Freeman, this audio app delivers seasonal collections of reflections, ancient prayers, and original piano music by Caleb Peavy — designed to ease the low-grade hum of anxiety that pulses just beneath the surface of busy lives.^1
The app is free to download and includes two free libraries — Borrowed Prayers (readings of ancient, familiar prayers recited through history) and The Psalms — with additional seasonal Collections available as in-app purchases. Current offerings include collections for Advent, Lent, birthdays, and a companion series to Freeman's bestselling book How to Walk into a Room. Every offering is accessible as both audio and text, making it easy to listen first thing in the morning, at bedtime, or on the go.^1
Why Christians Love It"It's been a source of comfort, peace, and truth in some of the darkest days of my life. The Borrowed Prayers guide me into each new day with fresh hope and the right perspective."^2
"While most apps are created to be addictive in a detrimental way, this one is addictive in that it's what your soul craves. To meet with Jesus, to hear from His word, to quiet your mind and heart for just a few moments — this is what our souls truly need."^2
"Slowing down to sit in quiet reflection in our achievement rewarding culture goes against the grain but I find the time spent with this app and these various collections to be soul-refreshing. 100% Worth your time."^2
