First15 4+

I came across First 15 through a devotion in the You Version Bible App. A friend encouraged me to use the audio when going through the devotions each day. This made a huge difference to my time spent in prayer and devotion. The ability to listen and / or read is very effective for me. The music is soothing and the TONE of each devotion is perfect and makes way for prayerful reflection. Each week we are invited to explore a different THEME which can inspire deeper study in the Bible. The GUIDED PRAYER helps me center my thoughts for the devotion each day and helps me journal and identify areas for spiritual and personal growth. MUSIC is a big part of my prayer and the songs selected to accompany each days reflection enhances the experience and breaks the word open even further. Each devotion is TIMED just long enough for you to reflect each day even when you don’t have a lot of time. This is probably the best devotion / prayer element I have come across in a long time. It is TIMELY, RELEVANT, PEACEFUL, THOUGHT PROVOKING AND EFFECTIVE.

I am so thankful for this app! It has absolutely transformed my morning routine and has pushed me in my walk with God. The resources and devotionals are thought out, intentional, and well written. Such a beautiful community of members on the app! What I have found that I like better about this devotional app compared to others that I’ve used, is that you can search key terms/words and find specific devos. This is super helpful depending on what season I am in or if I am trying to send one to a friend. Definitely recommend trying if you feel encouraged to use a morning devotional to grow your walk and relationship.

** Unfortunately, this new update has prevented me from opening the app on my IPhone. It shows that everything is working but shuts me out instead of loading. I have tried deleting and re-downloading as well as resetting my phone. Nothing has worked... I’ve resorted to trying to navigate through their website. Hopefully this bug/glitch gets fixed soon!

Short of reading the Bible directly, this app has been the greatest resource for enhancing my faith and improving my daily outlook/attitude. The days I don’t make time for these devotions are noticeably more glum, melancholic, and more void of joy/purpose. On the contrary, when I do make time, I’m so moved, touched, and inspired both emotionally and physically to live well, love others better, and notice the Father walking with me in everything I do. This app has helped me to have a much more direct, personal relationship with the Trinity and using it daily helps me feel the closest to God I’ve ever felt. It has helped to change my life from the inside out. The Lord is definitely in this place and I can’t recommend these daily meditations enough! Thank you First15 for being a beacon of God’s love and for helping me to experience Him on such a deeper level ❤️
