Comments on Centering Prayer for Android

★★★★★ Alison Shook · Apr 21, 2026
Very useful in practice of contemplative prayer or meditation.
★★★★★ Nikki Bruggert · Feb 25, 2026
Very helpful and useful in Centering Prayer. I love the customizations that are offered (sounds, opening scripture, wallpaper, ending prayer)
★★★★★ Michael Rothermel · Feb 1, 2026
The timer (with bells) is of course of practical help, while I also find the opening/closing devotional options meaningful and supportive in setting my intention for my time of prayer and meditation
★★★★★ Sherry Good · Jan 20, 2026
Very easy to use. Beginning and ending prayers are encouraging and help to prepare for and continue the emptying process of Centering Prayer.

Description by Contemplative Outreach Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
“God’s first word is silence.”
— Thomas Keating

Centering Prayer is a method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, in which we experience God's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline that fosters that relationship. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather, it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. Centering Prayer is an ancient method of Christian prayer adapted for modern times by Fathers Thomas Keating, William Meninger, and Basil Pennington.

The Centering Prayer app helps you stay committed to your daily prayer practice. Beautiful and peaceful, the app includes an adjustable timer, as well as opening and closing prayer options that you can read before and after your silent prayer time. A selection of sounds and backgrounds allows you to create the environment you prefer for your prayer time. Brief instructions for learning Centering Prayer are also included.

To begin with, it is recommended that you practice being in relationship with God through Centering Prayer twice a day for 20 minutes.
