Getting Started Guide
Eternal Light is a calm Christian prayer and reflection app designed to help you begin prayer quickly, choose a prayer topic that fits your present need, listen to spoken prayer, spend time in quiet focus, and save reflections for later.
This guide was prepared from the app source and UI structure. It is ready for GitHub Pages now and can be updated later with real screenshots.
1. Welcome
When you open Eternal Light, you first see the welcome screen with the app title, a devotional background, and a main button to begin prayer. This screen is meant to feel peaceful and uncluttered.
2. Home
The prayer entry flow centers on choosing what you want prayer for. Eternal Light presents a list of core prayer circumstances as easy-to-tap rounded buttons.
Use this screen when you already know what kind of prayer you want.
3. Guided Prayer
After selecting a circumstance, Eternal Light opens the prayer screen. This screen combines a scripture anchor, the prayer title, the prayer text itself, and a reflection area.
The app also keeps recent prayer titles and openings in mind to reduce repetitive results when live generation is available.
4. Guided Choice
If you are not sure which prayer topic to choose, use the special button at the bottom of the circumstances screen. In your current app logic, this option randomly selects one of the available prayer topics and takes you directly to the prayer page.
This is ideal for moments when you simply want to be guided instead of browsing categories manually.
5. Quiet Prayer
Focus mode is built for a few undistracted minutes of quiet prayer. It keeps the screen awake, shows a prayer countdown, and supports a slower rhythm for silence and stillness.
6. Journal
The Journal tab lets you keep short written reflections based on your latest prayer. When a prayer is open, the app can prefill a reflection draft using the prayer title, verse reference, and excerpt.
Journal entries are stored on the device for normal use.
7. Progress
The Progress tab helps you stay encouraged over time. Eternal Light tracks prayer activity such as streaks, completed sessions this week, and total minutes prayed.
| Progress item | What it means |
|---|---|
| Prayer streak | How many consecutive days you have maintained prayer activity. |
| Completed this week | How many recorded prayer sessions you completed during the current week. |
| Total minutes prayed | The accumulated quiet prayer time recorded in the app. |
| Goals | Targets such as consistency and quiet prayer minutes. |
8. Settings
Settings lets you shape the app around your prayer style and preferences.
Reminders use notification permission on your device. If reminders are turned off, the app should not schedule daily prayer notifications.
9. Spoken Prayer
Eternal Light includes spoken prayer playback so you can listen instead of reading. This can be especially helpful for quiet prayer, nighttime use, or moments when you want a more contemplative pace.
10. Languages
Based on the source, Eternal Light supports multiple interface and prayer languages:
You can follow the device language automatically or choose a supported language manually in Settings.
