Home Screen · small and medium
MySavior's Bible Verse widget puts a Bible verse, a short prayer, a Christian reflection or an affirmation on your iPhone Home Screen, in a design you make yourself. It comes in small and medium sizes.
Choose from 500 built-in texts in 12 topics, style them with 110 themes or an Unsplash photo and 82 fonts, then place as many widgets as you like, each with its own saved design.

Four kinds of text
Each widget draws from MySavior's own library of 500 short texts, sized for a widget. You choose which kinds of text and which topics it may show.
| Kind of text | How many | What they are like |
|---|---|---|
| Bible verses | 125 | From 39 books of the Bible, with the reference under the text. 34 come from the Psalms, then Isaiah, Matthew and Romans. |
| Prayers | 125 | “God, today, restore joy where grief has felt permanent. Amen.” |
| Christian reflections | 125 | “Shame says hide; grace says come closer.” |
| Affirmations | 125 | “In Christ, I am accepted, secure, and seen.” |
Every text belongs to one of 12 topics, such as Deep Peace (calming anxious thoughts) or Sacred Comfort (God's care in pain and loss). Pick the topics for the small and the medium widget separately in MySavior's Widget Studio. Each one needs at least two kinds of text and three topics.
| Group | Topics |
|---|---|
| Walk With God | Quiet Trust, Living Grace, Holy Nearness and Open Hands |
| Heart and Mind | Deep Peace, Gentle Healing, True Identity and Sacred Comfort |
| Live It Out | Bright Hope, Steady Strength, Faithful Love and Grateful Heart |
Prayer widget
Looking for a prayer widget for iPhone? Prayers are one of the four kinds of text in MySavior's Bible Verse widget. The app has 125 of them: short prayers of 56 to 110 characters that call on God (as Lord, Father or Jesus, for example) and close with “Amen.”
Prayers follow the same 12 topics as everything else. Choose Sacred Comfort, Gentle Healing and Deep Peace for prayers that carry you through grief and worry, or Grateful Heart, Bright Hope and Steady Strength for prayers of thanks, hope and courage. A widget needs at least two kinds of text, so pair prayers with reflections, affirmations or verses. The medium size gives the longer prayers room.

Sizes
The Bible Verse widget comes in the two Home Screen sizes below. There is no large size.
| Small | Medium | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Square, the space of four app icons | Wide, the space of eight app icons |
| Good for | Affirmations and short reflections | Prayers and longer texts |
| Optional buttons | Share, Like | Next, Share, Like |
| Saved designs | Yes | Yes |
Share opens MySavior's share screen, so you can send the text as an image. Like saves it to your favorites in the app. Next shows another text from the kinds and topics you chose.
Saved designs
You can place several Bible Verse widgets and give each one its own look:
A widget set to a saved design keeps that design's look and the text it showed when you saved it, with no buttons. A widget without a saved design follows what you set for its size in the Widget Studio: the look, the kinds of text, the topics and the buttons.
Updates
No. The Home Screen widget keeps the same text until you tap one of the arrows on the medium widget, or change its kinds of text or topics in MySavior. It doesn't swap texts on a timer, so a design you like stays exactly as you made it.
If you'd like words that change on their own through the day, add a Lock Screen encouragement widget: short lines of faith, written for the Lock Screen, that change 24 times a day by default.

You choose the kinds of text (Bible verses, prayers, Christian reflections and affirmations) and the topics, separately for the small and the medium widget, in MySavior's Widget Studio: at least two kinds and three of the 12 topics. The widget then shows a text from that selection. You can't type your own words into the Home Screen widget; to put your own text, such as a favorite verse, on your iPhone, use MySavior's wallpaper maker.
No. It keeps the same text until you tap one of the arrows on the medium widget or change its kinds of text or topics in MySavior, and a widget set to a saved design always shows that design's text. Of MySavior's text widgets, only the Lock Screen encouragements change on their own: 24 times a day by default.
Yes. In MySavior's Widget Studio, pick one of the 86 photo and art themes, including 17 classic paintings, or search Unsplash from inside MySavior, then zoom and drag the photo into place. Pictures saved on your iPhone can't be used as widget backgrounds.
Yes. Save each design in MySavior's Widget Studio, add one Bible Verse widget per design, then touch and hold each widget, tap Edit Widget and choose its design. Every widget keeps its own.
Yes. MySavior's 500 built-in texts, its themes and its fonts are stored on your iPhone; only the Unsplash photo search needs a connection. No account is needed.
