Today’s verse

“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Isaiah 41:10 · WEB

Four words from a mother.

It began with a boy who left home at thirteen. His mother told him it was only for a moment.

Those words carried him through hard seasons, until he saw that God had been for him all along. Ofam carries that reminder to anyone who needs it tonight.

Stand still, and see.Exodus 14:13

Questions

What is Ofam?

Ofam means Only For A Moment. It is a ministry with one message for anyone in a hard season: whatever you are facing is only for a moment, and God is not. We share it through notes of hope between strangers, a private journal for iPhone, and things you can wear.

Where are my entries stored?

Only on your iPhone. There is no account and no server that receives them. Deleting the app deletes them, so use Settings, Export my journal if you want a copy.

How does the Pause work?

Choose the apps you want to rest, in onboarding or in Settings, The Pause. When you open one, Ofam shows a short moment first: a breath, how is your heart, a verse and Amen. Then the app opens for a few minutes. Apple handles the app list, so Ofam never sees which apps you chose.

Does the Wall show my name?

No. A note carries only its text and your country. If a note you receive is unkind, tap Report. To remove a note you sent, send us its text with the form.

Can I lock my journal?

Yes. Turn on Settings, Lock with Face ID. Your iPhone needs a passcode set.
