Quiet Time journal

What it is for​

A quiet time is a daily Bible reading with a structured reflection. The Quiet Time tab is your journal: every entry is saved to your account, so it is there on any device, and you can look back over weeks and months.

Before you start​

  • Signed in. The journal syncs with your account; entries are private to you.

Steps: write an entry​

  1. Open the Quiet Time tab and tap New entry.

Quiet times assigned by a book​

Each lesson in the Books tab lists the quiet times for that week. Completing one there writes it to this same journal and ticks it off in the lesson.

Tips and troubleshooting​

  • Lost connection while saving? The app keeps the text; save again when you are back online.
  • The journal is yours alone. Staff cannot read it.
  • Delete all quiet times is under Settings and cannot be undone.
