SCRIPTURE REFERENCE
A simple prayer is all it takes to connect with God every day. And if you don’t know how to pray, no worries! We’ve got you covered. Check out this simple prayer below to get started!
I Want Less Screen Time
We check our phones over 100 times a day—sometimes without even realizing it. For many of us, it’s where we work, connect, unwind, and even seek comfort. But what happens when the tool starts to shape the one using it?
It’s easy for technology to shift from something helpful to something that subtly rules our time, attention, and sense of worth. The endless scroll becomes noise. The notifications become pressure. The highlight reels of others start to feel like quiet reminders of what we lack.
But our devices don’t have to own us. They can serve us. We can pause before we open an app. We can choose to text a friend instead of doomscroll. We can take a walk before turning on our video games or streaming services. We can reclaim our attention from the noise and give it back to God.
This prayer is for anyone who’s noticed how easy it is to lose balance with tech. You’re not alone in that.
Take a breath. Ask God to help you use technology—not be used by it.
“Everything is permissible for me—but not everything is beneficial” (1 Corinthians 6:12).
A Prayer for Healthy Boundaries with Devices
God of freedom and truth, we spend so much time with our screens. We scroll when we’re tired, we tap when we’re lonely, we refresh when we’re restless. We don’t always know what we’re looking for, but it’s rarely you. Help us remember that our devices aren’t bad—but they aren’t meant to be our only comfort either. Teach us to notice what draws us in, and what it costs. Teach me to use it in ways that build connection, not comparison; that bring peace, not pressure. Give us grace to set boundaries, wisdom to rest, and courage to be present. Slow our scrolling, Lord. Remind us that real life is right here—with you, and with the people you’ve given us to love. Amen.
