Introduction

I initially created PrayBee.com to practise my writing. I like to write, and then I started using it to collect my thoughts on topics I was encountering and the reflections I was sharing with a prayer group at work at the time. Then I paused, wrote a book (I have no idea how to get it published; it’s about forgiveness), and occasionally posted articles to test processes or follow through on my thoughts.

In early 2026, I had enough experience with automation scripting and AI (after all, I studied early AI in college back in the early 90s) to try my hand at developing a set of Christian resources people can actually use.

Some of the resources developed in this way are usable as they are (reflections, devotionals, prayers); however, some of the more complex processes (the commentaries and other content styles yet to appear) might get you 70-80% (I’m always praying as much as 90% or more) of the way there. But I always treat the more complex content as unfinished and unpolished, with the acknowledgement that some manual fact-checking, editing, and afterthought may be required, and I leave enough room for personal style, presentation, and delivery on top. Some of it boils down to how you read it, how you pace it, where you place the emphasis and where you place the pauses. Some of the more serious theological content should be fact-checked; AI, while knowledgeable, is prone to mistakes, just like a human.

The important thing to remember, and there is much debate about this type of process (ethical, moral, theological, etc.), is that if the article is generated with AI support, then it is using its general knowledge, but I am providing it with context; I am orchestrating how it behaves and responds; it is always predicting what the next sentence it thinks a specific prompt is looking for – so you have to give it extensive rules, define constraints, define logic, define style and structure, and you have to give it boundaries.

Ultimately, the primary boundary is a human. You get to choose whether to use something, read something, agree or disagree. Still, if the content makes you think about what is said, what is offered freely, then that is a win – this is all about additional context for biblical study, personal reflection and using modern technology to expand our horizons in ways we have never been able to work with the Bible before.

You may choose to use the content, in part or in full; you may take bits and throw other bits away – the content is an example of what can be done; it is not perfect, neither am I. We may strive for perfection, but we live with our imperfections; they’re part of who we are.

What you’ll find here

Created with the assistance of AI (including spellcheck and grammar correction):

Daily Reflection

Daily reflections on Scripture that move from the text into the texture of everyday life. Each piece draws out a theme from the day’s verse and explores what it means to live it out, in faith, in relationships, in the ordinary and the difficult. These reflections are offered as an invitation to go deeper with God’s word beyond the moment of reading.

Daily Devotional Insights

Daily devotional reflections drawn from Scripture, offering insight into each day’s verse, its meaning, and its message. Written to inform and inspire, these devotional guides unpack the text, its context, themes, and call to faith. They are offered as a starting point for personal study and quiet reflection, with space to sit with what Scripture is saying to you today.

Daily Personal Prayer

Daily prayers inspired by Scripture, offering a personal response to its themes through thanksgiving, confession and requests for God’s help. Written in the first person, they bring faith into the concerns of everyday life, including doubt, anxiety, rest, relationships and putting belief into practice. These prayers are offered for quiet reflection and personal devotion, with space to make their words your own.

Daily Intercession

Daily prayers inspired by Scripture and shaped by the familiar Anglican pattern of intercession for the Church, creation and society, the local community, those who suffer, and the communion of saints. These prayers help draw our concerns together before God and guide prayer beyond the moment of reading. Use them personally or adapt them to lead a congregation, with space to bring local needs and particular people into prayer.

Daily Collects

Short daily prayers inspired by Scripture and shaped by the traditional collect form, bringing thanksgiving and petition together in a focused prayer through Jesus Christ. These prayers are offered for personal devotion and reflection. They are original compositions, not official collects or authorised liturgical texts.

A Sneak peek (a thank you for reading this far!)

I have permission (see below) to use the Revised Common Lectionary – I’m very excited about this and grateful to the copyright holders for allowing me permission to use both the weekly and daily Revised Common Lectionary.

I’m hoping to expand into the Lectionary year with content based on the readings: a Sunday devotional, reflection, prayers, perhaps an example sermon outline and maybe the sermon text, and hopefully a poem.

I use this type of content in different ways (as explained below): for personal exploration of the Bible, to expand quickly or do deep dives into topics, to simplify concepts, or to dig into mind maps of the theological concepts that, for instance, over 50 different poetry styles can generate from one verse or biblical theme.

How the resources are prepared

I use automation processes for some content (specifically the daily resources) to build and develop context, starting with a core reading, adding lectionary content for context and themes, and developing the different resources using detailed, extensive instruction sets and styles. I constrain the output using rulesets, with a Rubric and a set of Foundations based on J. John’s effectiveness criteria for sermons, which can apply to pretty much any aspect of Christian thought or expression.

I have an extensive set of resources that I collect for storage and consumption (Gmail, GDrive, and Notion); I then use various NotebookLM notebooks to interrogate the sources in storage, assess the sources and compare theology, styles, themes and context, cross-examine, and, when the limited NotebookLM account allowances allow it, create media to explore the material further.

If you require clarity on the processes or rulesets I use, please use the Contact page to send me your questions, and I will endeavour to answer as best I can.
