Prayer Pals is a community of people who need prayer and pray for others. Colossians 4:2 - Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer [life], being [both] alert and intent in [your praying] with thanksgiving. Prayer can be powerful when it is focused on others. It is easy to ask God for the things that we want and hope for them to happen, but when we pray for others, the focus shifts from us to Him. God answers prayer and He wants to see us connected in Him. For those who have never prayed before, this app will allow you to generate a prayer request and share it with others and they will pray for you. Speak to God and asking Him for your request as others join you. Then, try praying for someone else; it can transform your life. CREATE A PERSONAL PRAYER LIST As you create prayer requests, they appear in a list you can manage so you can remember what you are praying for daily. These prayers can be shared with a group you have joined or they can be shared with anyone that has the app, or you can keep it private so it is only on your list. PRAYER GROUPS You can create or join a group and share prayers with them. Most churches have prayer chains, this app makes it easy to manage the chain. The app has a way of sharing prayers with people in your group that do not have the app so no one is left out. Families, ministries, and groups of friends all make good prayer groups. ANSWERED PRAYER Prayers can be marked as answered and stored for viewing later to see what God has done. Additionally, you can view answered prayers from the global list to encourage one another. PRAY UNDISTRACTED The “Pray Now” feature allows you to pray showing just the prayer titles with nothing else on the screen. This allows you to remember what you are praying for as you go through the list without scrolling through pages. GLOBAL PRAYER GROUP The app connects people by allowing them to view prayer requests submitted globally. As you scroll through all the posted global prayers, you can add them to your personal list and pray for someone regularly. Praying for others will deepen your relationship with Christ. When you share a prayer globally, everyone that has the app could potentially be praying for you. Acts 12:5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. We would love your feedback. Please share with us.
