Using the prayer chain
Share a prayer request, click a quick-prayer button for someone, or post a longer reply. Threaded conversations, anonymous posting, and category badges.
The prayer chain lives at /prayers. It's a quiet space to share what you're carrying and to pray for others.
Sharing a request
Sign in, click Request prayer, give it a short title, pick a category (health / family / work / recovery / grief / financial / spiritual / gratitude / other), and add any details you want to share. You can post anonymously — your name won't appear on the public listing.
Responding to others
Two ways to respond:
- Quick reactions — one click on 🙏 Praying, ❤️ Heart, 🕯️ Candle, or 💪 Strength. The person who posted gets a notification.
- Threaded replies — write a longer note, share scripture, or just encourage them. Replies can nest up to four levels deep so a real conversation can happen.
Filtering
The landing page has filter chips for Active, Answered, All, plus category chips and a search box. Pagination is 20 per page.
Marking your request answered
When your request has been answered, click Mark as answered 🙏 on your own post. It moves to the "Answered" tab and signals to the community that the season has passed. You can reopen it anytime.
How points work
You earn reputation points for posting a request (+3) and for offering prayer (+2 on your first response per request). See how leaderboard points work.
