The most important part of your day today may be the time you spend in stillness. When we take explorefaith appa break from daily tasks and focus our hearts and minds on the holy, we find that, yes, things are different. We are different. We are closer to the Love that gives us life.

Yet sometimes we need some help— tools that guide us and suggest ways to become mindful of God’s presence. The explorefaith application provides that help by delivering spiritual resources to your iPhone:

• The Divine Hours
• Signposts Daily Devotions
• New content featured on the explorefaith.org web site

The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle (published by Doubleday Books) is a manual for fixed-hour prayer—or observing the daily offices. For centuries people have prayed at designated hours, quietly easing away from daily obligations of home or work to take a few moments to spend time with God. These moments connect them with the Divine, and to the countless others who are also pausing to pray the prayers for that hour, on that day.

Each time you access the explorefaith app, you’ll receive the The Divine Hours prayer service that corresponds to your time zone:
• Morning prayers, for prayer between 6 and 9;
• Midday prayers for praying between 11 and 2;
• Evening prayers to pray between 5 and 8.

Praying with The Divine Hours encourages you to let go of all that occupies you and pay attention to the sacred. Each hour becomes holy, for every day is laced together by your appointments with God.
