WRITE and Real Talk
WRITE is the prayer box. Real Talk is the optional response - in plain language, a Scripture-grounded response from your prayer: honest, not a greeting card.
Write a prayer
- Open WRITE (home after sign-in).
- Type what is actually going on, or tap the mic and speak your prayer. See Voice and listen-back.
- Choose a translation if you want verses in a specific English Bible (NLT, NIV, ESV, and others depending on availability).
- Tap Receive Real Talk, or save the prayer without generating.
There is no character minimum. Short and raw is fine. Long and rambling is also fine.
What Real Talk does
After you tap Receive Real Talk, a short “Preparing…” moment is normal. Words should start appearing within a few seconds and keep growing until the reflection finishes, then Scripture references show with the saved card.
The saved journal entry keeps both the prayer and the response.
Real Talk is not pastoral care, counseling, medical, or legal advice. If you are in crisis, contact local emergency services or a trusted pastor / counselor. Our Terms say the same.
Saving and the top actions bar
Successful Real Talk saves to JOURNAL automatically. Open the entry to use the top actions bar:
- Real Talk - play the reflection aloud (listen-back)
- Share - create a private, revocable link
- Print / PDF - take it off your phone
- Edit / Delete - change or remove the entry
See Voice and listen-back, Share, print, and PDF, and Your journal. Each account is private.
Limits
Free Grace includes a monthly cap on Real Talk generations (UTC calendar month, resets on the 1st). Daily, Faithful, and Unfiltered raise that cap. Check Usage & billing or Billing and plans.
If it stalls
If you see no words for more than about 30 seconds, check your connection, wait for the attempt to finish or fail, then try once more. Do not tap Receive several times in a row - each start can count against your monthly limit. Do not refresh unless it has clearly failed.
