Building Your Personal Prayer and Devotion Study System with Logos

About This Training

In this webinar, Dr. John Fallahee walks through practical ways to build a personal prayer and devotion system using Logos Bible Software. You'll learn how to create and manage prayer lists, set up reading plans for daily Scripture engagement, and use the memorization tool to commit key passages to memory—all within the Logos platform. The session focuses on real, repeatable workflows that help you stay consistent in your spiritual disciplines.

The training covers how to organize your prayers with tools like the Prayer List and Notebook features, integrate devotionals into your study routine, and use specialized searches to find relevant passages for reflection. You'll see how to combine these tools with Faithlife groups for shared prayer tracking, making your devotional life both personal and communal. Whether you're just getting started or looking to deepen your current practice, the step-by-step guidance makes these tools accessible and usable.
