Christian Confidence on Campus

With a lot of time on my hands at home now, I've been getting way too much screen time. I decided to download some Christian apps I've never heard about to test them out and see if they helped my devotion time and encourage me throughout the day. Echo App The first app I downloaded is called Echo Purpose: Prayer journal Features: Pray with small groups, follow your church's feed or join any prayer chain, share prayers Available on: App store and Google Play Price: Free Review: I usually get so distracted when praying and it's hard to stay focused.
