ABIDE, PLEASE READ – Abide - Bible Meditation Sleep Review

I have been using regular meditation as a form of relaxation and destressing. It’s worked tremendously. I never knew how much more calm you could get by meditation. Today I started to think, how can I find time for meditation so routinely as I do, but yet ignore the fact that this is also time that could be given to God. I love this app...I feel as if it is a jumpstart to meditation. To give you peace and something to also think about and be grateful for during a focused session on silent meditation. Thanks you abide!! The only downfall I see is that I feel funding could be very responsive and beneficial elsewhere. This app could reach out to so many more people if it didn’t have a subscription to it. Nonbelievers or people that have backslid would benefit from this as well in such a more powerful and efficient way. The subscription could just throw out the idea to begin with, or entice someone to just quick the trail afterwards. Although they may want it, maybe they can’t afford it, or maybe it’s just something they don’t do (subscriptions). There should be no ultimatum on Christ, as far as a subscription. Yes there are other resources available, like just picking up the Bible instead. But a guided devotion and prayers are, very much so, easier for someone that has focusing problems or has an extremely busy schedule, or kids...then nobody forgets where they are and they can get right back to where they left off. Many advantages for users to not have a subscription requirement. Abide would benefit from seeking funding via donation or fundraising, or just churches in general. THIS is what we are led to do as Christians. We lead, without any expectation of anything in return. I do understand that you guys are listener supported. I encourage you to contact Mark Pyle, who is the owner of TheFix radio station in my area. It is a Christian radio station-the only one I know of around us that reaches as far as it does. Has been standing and successful for years now. TheFix is also listener supported. Not everyone has money problems, but that then singles out the ones that do. Maybe think about a donation space on the app. Pray that God will bless your ministry, in a way that you can still minister to everyone that comes in contact with this app versus singling out a specific minority. God will provide for this ministry greater than anything anyone would expect for your guidance this app provides. It’s really something!!! Maybe it will be in unknown ways........maybe not. The only other suggestion would be to alter the amount of time in between meditative or provoking questions. There does need to be more time in between dialogue. You can’t dive too deep if not, I understand you can pause the app but that also breaks your concentration which is essential in meditation. Or even ask the questions in the beginning and then maybe a soft reminder during the session. Then a prayer ending. -God Bless.
