How it works
One rhythm: read, study, pray.
Follow one passage through Yashav — from the moment it catches you, to reading it, understanding it and answering it in prayer.
It begins with a passage
A verse stays with you.
Perhaps it was in a devotional this morning, in Sunday’s sermon, or in your own reading. This one, say.
6In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
01 · Read
Open it, and read it whole.
Philippians 4 opens in full, so the verse sits among the words around it. Every book of the Bible is here, in the World English Bible or the American Standard Version, with search, highlights in four colours and private verse notes.
You don’t need an account to read. Choose Read Scripture on the welcome screen to read. Search, highlights and verse notes belong to the fuller Bible reader after you continue into Yashav.

02 · Study
Notice what it says.
Choose how to explore it — Inductive to observe and respond, Devotional to reflect and apply, or Contextual to see its setting and story — and the depth that fits the time you have.
The study keeps the Bible, the notes that explain it and your own response apart, and lets you turn your responses into a prayer of your own. How Yashav keeps them apart.
in everything
verse 6
The passage does not ask for anxiety to be hidden. It turns it into prayer: everything that could weigh on a person becomes something to bring to God.
03 · Pray
Answer it in prayer.
Pray straight from the study, or write what is on your heart — for yourself, your family, your church, your community. Yashav helps you begin with Scripture and respond in prayer. A prayer prepared by Yashav is labelled and kept apart from the Bible text, with the passage one tap away.
Father, you have told me not to carry my anxieties alone. I bring you the things that are weighing on me today, and I thank you for your faithfulness so far. Guard my heart and my thoughts in Christ Jesus, with a peace I cannot explain. Amen.
Then, keep and return
What you find stays with you.
The prayer, the notes, the highlighted verse — each has a place to live, and a way back to the passage it came from.
My Prayers
Where the prayers you save are gathered, filtered by what you are still praying for and what has been answered. When a prayer is answered you can write what happened and give thanks in your own words — and pray about it again whenever you need to.
Journal
Everything you have chosen to save — highlights, verse notes, study moments, reflections, prayers and sermon notes — gathered in one timeline. Filter it, group it by passage, or search it.
Growth
A view inside your Journal. Look back over the past month, six months or all time: the passages you have spent time in, the prayers that were answered, and the themes you keep returning to. A reflection, not a verdict.
Your year with Scripture
A second Journal view that gathers the year you have spent with the Bible.
And sometimes, share and lead
When you’re preparing to share what you’ve studied with others.
Read, study and pray — and, when you choose, prepare to share and lead.
When you are preparing to share what you have studied — with a group you lead, a class you teach, a church you serve — Ministry is where Yashav helps you get ready. You’ll find it under Grow → Ministry, with two views: Sermon notes and Lead a study.
Sermon notes
Capture a sermon as you listen — the title, church, speaker and date, the passages as they are read, your notes, key points and what you want to carry into the week. Each passage opens straight in the Bible, and an unsaved draft is kept safe on your device.
Lead a study
Shape a study for the people you serve. Give it a title, a passage, the time you have, what you hope the group will take away, and who it is for — children, teenagers, adults, older adults or mixed ages. Write the plan for your group. Change anything, save it, and download or share it.
Sermon notes and leader plans are human reflection — not Bible text.
Scripture stays at the centre.
Every study and prayer in Yashav is written to serve the passage, and is always marked as such.
