Guides
How each part of The Pray App works, step by step, with screenshots from the app.
Get started
Start with the prayer list you already keep. Paste it in and each request becomes its own prayer card, or make cards one at a time. Then choose how often each one comes up, so every day's list stays short enough to pray through without rushing. If you're new, start with the first guide.
- Add many prayers at oncePaste the prayer list you already keep, and The Pray App turns each request into its own prayer card, up to 20 at a time.
- Create a prayer cardWrite a prayer for one person or request, pick a category, and add a Bible verse if you want one.
- Choose how often a prayer comes upSet each prayer card to come up daily, weekly on the day you pick, or monthly on the dates you pick.
Pray with a group
Start a group for your small group, Bible study or family, or join one with a code. Everyone posts requests in their own words, a few of them come up in each person's prayer time, and you see how many people prayed for yours.
Pray each day
Each day, The Pray App shows only the prayers that are due. Pray through them one at a time, mark the ones God answers and write down how, and let the people you pray for know you did. Journey keeps a record you can look back on.
- Pray through today's cardsOpen the app, tap Start praying, and pray through the prayer cards that are due today, one at a time.
- Mark a prayer answeredWhen God answers a prayer, mark it and write down how, so you can look back on it later.
- Look back on your walk with GodJourney shows the days you've prayed, the prayers God has answered, and the people you've brought before Him.
- Tag people and text themTag people from your contacts on a prayer card, then send them a text to say you prayed for them.
Journal and Bible reading
Write what's on your heart before or after you pray, or flip a prayer card and write while you pray. Keep a daily Bible reading plan next to your prayers, and set a reminder so you come back at the same time each day.
- Keep a prayer journalWrite down what God is doing, before or after you pray, with a prompt that turns you to Him, and come back to it later.
- Follow a Bible reading planSet up your own daily reading plan and read each day's passage in the app, alongside your prayers.
