A devotional app with notes for the thoughts worth returning to

Make room for this reading habit

You may notice something during a reading that you want to think about later. Write it in the reading's note while the question is fresh. Keeping the reference with your own words will help you find the passage again and separate what it says from your first interpretation.

Start with the question that actually interests you. It might concern a word in the passage or an action you want to try. After revisiting the context, add what you learned to the same note. A brief note can remain useful even if the question takes time to answer.

How Devotionals helps

• Notes and highlights on reading content.
• Space to include Scripture references with your own reflections.
• Saved reading notes you can reopen and update.
• Synchronization of supported notes and highlights when signed in and connected.

Try a simple reading practice

After James 1:19–25, consider a conversation in which you want to listen more carefully. If a devotional reading led you to the passage, add that question to its note and include the reference. After the conversation, reopen the note. Record what you noticed and what still needs attention.

1. Open a devotional reading and follow its Bible reference.
2. Add a note to the reading with a question you want to revisit.
3. Include the passage reference in your note.
4. Return to the reading later and update the note as you study.
