The Lists
The main area of this screen shows up to 3 lists of prayer types:
Prayers to review...
The "Prayers to review..." list shows you all of the prayer types
that need review today. If you have decided to review a
particular prayer type (see Prayer
Type Edit), then it will appear in this list. Once
you have finished the review, that prayer type disappears from the
list.
If there is a little warning symbol next to the prayer type, then
you have passed the warning time for that prayer type.
To start reviewing a prayer type, just press on it in the
list. That will open up the Prayer
List in review mode.
Once all reviews are done, the whole list disappears.
Prayers to pray...
The "Prayers to pray..." list shows you all of the prayer types that
need pray today. This shows any prayer types that:
- Have a prayer prayed each day.
- Haven't been prayed for yet.
- Are not waiting for a review.
Once you have finished the praying, that prayer type disappears from
the list.
If there is a little warning symbol next to the prayer type, then
you have passed the warning time for that prayer
type.
To start reviewing a prayer type, just press on it in the
list. This will open the Prayer View, where you can pray each
prayer.
Once all prayers are done, the whole list disappears.
Focus Prayers...
These prayers are prayers that you are focusing on for the day. A
prayer is marked as focused using the Prayer
Details dialog
button. To start praying the focus prayers, just
press on the first prayer in that list, or press the "Focus Prayers"
button on the toolbar. Pressing the Focus Prayers button cycles
through the focus prayers. You can use the "Show Focus Prayer
details" setting on the Settings
page to control whether you see the details of the focus prayers, or
just the number of focus prayers.
Events
These lists show the events that are coming up for either today
or tomorrow. Clicking on the event will take you to the Event View window.
Contact Reminders

reminders for today. These are people to give encouragement to

on a person in this list, you will be taken to the Person Details screen for that
