How it works

One verse a week. 52 a year.

Each morning a few more words fade from the verse. You fill them in from memory, out loud, while you wake up.

Monday

Read it

Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid.

The whole verse is on screen. Read it out loud and the alarm turns off.

Thursday

Fill it in

Be strong and ; do not be .

Half the words are hidden. Stuck? Tap a blank for a hint.

Sunday

Say it by heart

The verse is yours. Next week a new one starts.

Free and private

We don’t collect anything. Ever.

Rise & Recite is completely free, and it’s safe for the whole family.

100% free

Every feature and all twelve verse packs. No subscription, no in-app purchases.

No sign-up, no email, no password. Open it and set your alarm.

Nothing leaves your phone

Your verses, streaks, and progress are stored only on your device. We never see them.

Why your help matters

Google requires 12 people to test an app for 14 days before it can go on the Play Store. If you’re on Android, keeping the app installed for two weeks is the biggest favor you can do us. Found a bug or have an idea? Email hello@havemorefaith.com
