Do you have problems reminding yourself to pray?
Eternize, “a faith-based wellness startup,” launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the release of a new wearable cross that reminds people to pray, without looking at a screen.
“Eternize is the world's first ‘wearable’ cross that uses modern technology to help you build a rhythm of prayer in the middle of daily life, without adding another screen to your day.”
The cross, which comes as a cross or crucifix necklace, provides “gentle prayer reminders” on your heart throughout the day. The cross vibrates to remind a person to create a consistent prayer habit.
The cross also connects to the Eternize App, helping you track your daily prayer habits. Once your cross is connected to the app, a screen is not required to receive prayer reminders.
“The Eternize App allows you to personalize your vibration patterns or choose from preconfigured programs that fit seamlessly into your routine,” the website explains.
Additionally, the Eternize App connects you with a prayer community where you can share your intentions with others worldwide.
Eternize founder Todd Dailey created the Eternize Cross to help him overcome his personal struggles with prayer and the noise of everyday life.
“Guided by prayer, perseverance, and a vision of hope, Todd turned to technology—not as an obstacle, but as a tool to sustain spiritual reflection," the Eternize website explains. The result was the Eternize Cross, patented in 2020, a wearable innovation designed to foster moments of mindfulness throughout one’s day.”
"The Eternize cross vibrations are a constant reminder of God’s presence in my life and have given me a daily peace of mind, patience, and courage that I struggled to find previously," Dailey told ChurchPOP.
“We believe that small, consistent habits can lead to profound spiritual growth,” Dailey said in a press release. “The Eternize Cross is designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life, helping individuals stay centered and connected to God throughout their day.”
