Heavenward - Daily Prayers With Scotty Smith

I often refer to and use portions of the daily prayers by Scotty Smith in our Celebration Worship Services here at Harderwyk.  Here are linked instructions on how you can make these prayers a part of your daily life - receiving them either by email or as a feed in the PrayerMate app for smartphone or tablet.

Receiving Daily Emails

  1. Open Web Browser and go to: www.TheGospelCoalition.Com
  2. Click “Explore” in the top left corner of the webpage
  3. Scroll down the list on the left and click “Blogs”
  4. Scroll down the list on the left and click  “Scotty Smith – Heavenward”
  5. On the right of that page, look for “Subscribe to Scotty’s Blog”
  6. Enter your email address in the box above that and press Enter on your keyboard
  7. That will clear as it registers your address and now you should receive each morning into your email inbox an email from addressee “Scotty Smith” with the title of the prayer for that day in the subject line.  If you do not see it within a day or two, you may want to check your filters or spam folder before trying the process again.

As a Daily Feed in the PrayerMate app on your smartphone or tablet

This is Pastor Bill’s favorite method.  The PrayerMate app is a central part of my daily prayer routine and I highly recommend it.

  1. Install the PrayerMate app by Discipleship Technologies from your Apple or Android App Store.
  2. There are a number of learning helps when you first open the app and even more on their website: CLICK HERE.  Check out this intro from YouTube: CLICK HERE  as well as this step-by-step start-up: CLICK HERE
  3. Once you have installed the PrayerMate app:
    1. Tap “Add Subject” from the menu at the bottom of the page
    2. Type “Heavenward” in the field below “What would you like to pray for?”
    3. This should bring up the Suggested Resource  “Heavenward by Scotty Smith.”
    4. Tap “Subscribe To This Feed” and follow instructions.
  4. Call Pastor Bill at the church or email him at Bill@Harderwyk.com to let him know that you are interested in using PrayerMate in your own prayer life.  You may also be interested in knowing about some ways that Harderwyk may begin sharing prayer requests using PrayerMate.
