Terms of Use
- My Quiet Time is free for everyone: every devotional track, the prayer journal, and every feature.
- You may give a gift of any amount to support the ministry. Gifts are voluntary, unlock nothing, aren't tax-deductible, and are final.
- What you write is yours. The prompts are Jen Kramer's writing, shared for your personal use.
About these terms
My Quiet Time is made by Jen Kramer of Thankful Heart Ministries. By using the journal, you agree to these terms. If you have a question, email thankfulheartministries@gmail.com.
It's free
Everything in the journal is free to use: reading every prompt, every devotional track, writing with or without prompts, the prayer journal, printing your books, and every other feature. There are no ads, subscriptions, or purchases.
Gifts to support the ministry
- You may give a one-time gift of any amount to support Thankful Heart Ministries. You choose the amount; our payment processor requires a small minimum for each transaction, which the app shows before you give.
- A gift is voluntary and doesn't unlock or purchase anything. Thankful Heart Ministries is a sole proprietorship, not a registered charity, so gifts are not tax-deductible charitable donations.
- Gifts are processed securely by Stripe, in U.S. dollars. You won't be charged again.
- If you gave for something in the journal before it became free, nothing changes for you; everything is yours, along with everyone else.
Gifts are final
Because gifts are voluntary, gifts are final and we don't offer refunds, except where the law requires one.
We will always fix genuine problems. If you were charged twice or by mistake, email thankfulheartministries@gmail.com with the email address you gave with and roughly when, and we'll refund the charge.
Your journal
Everything you write belongs to you. It's stored on your device and, if you sign in, in your own Google Drive, as described in the Privacy Policy. You're responsible for keeping it safe. We recommend signing in with Google or downloading a backup now and then, since clearing your browser's data or losing a device can erase entries that were only stored there. We can't recover entries for you, because we never have a copy.
The prompts and content
The prompts, reflections, and other writing in the journal come from the Thankful Heart blog and are © Jen Kramer. You're welcome to use them for your own personal journaling, and to share short quotes with a link back to the blog. Please don't copy, republish, or sell the content, or share access to paid themes outside your own use.
Scripture quotations are provided by outside services and remain under their own copyrights and terms.
Scripture quotations marked NASB 1995 are taken from the (NASB®) New American Standard Bible®, Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission. All rights reserved. lockman.org

Changes to the journal
We may improve or change the journal over time, including adding new prompts, tracks, and features. If these terms change, we'll post the new version here with a new effective date. Changes won't take away anything you've already bought.
The fine print
The journal is offered as a devotional and reflective tool. It isn't a substitute for counseling, medical, or mental health care. If you're struggling, please reach out to your church or a medical professional. If you'd like biblical counseling, we highly recommend an ACBC Certified biblical counselor; you can search for one at biblicalcounseling.com. (We're not affiliated with ACBC.)
If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, in the U.S.) or call 911 right away.
We work hard to keep the journal running well, but it's provided "as is," without guarantees that it will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, our responsibility for any problem with the journal is limited to the amount you paid for it.
