Simplified Prayer keeps your prayer life organized, consistent, and personal — without distractions or complexity. We can’t read your thoughts or force consistency — but we can help you create rhythms that make prayer a natural part of your life. Whether it’s someone you meet at the grocery store, a friend in need, or your entire Bible study group, you can add names and prayer requests instantly — right from the app dashboard. This isn’t another social-style prayer app or influencer-led platform. Simplified Prayer is for everyone who want to pray for others and remember to follow up. No feeds, no followers — just a peaceful, private space for focused prayer. Create Prayer Groups for Anyone: Build groups for your church, your Bible study, your family, your friends, your small group, or any gathering of people. Create private prayer circles for specific causes, events, ministries, outreach efforts, or personal needs. With flexible settings and endless options, you can organize prayer groups for any reason — to pray for any cause, at any time. Add Requests Instantly: Met someone who needs prayer? Add their name and request in seconds from the home screen. Perfect for Bible Study or Groups: Keep track of each person’s requests. Create names ahead of time or add them on the spot. Focus Mode: Enter a calm, distraction-free view to move through prayer needs one by one. Helpful Reminders: Get gentle notifications to pray for each person individually. Does someone you are praying for have an important thing coming up that you want to pray for at the time of its happening. Get reminded easily. Stay Organized: Sort requests into folders or categories for easy reference. Mark Prayers as Answered: Add a short testimony — and let it remind you to reach back out and celebrate together. Track Your Journey: See how many people you’ve prayed for, how many requests are active, and how many prayers have been answered. Simplified Prayer is completely free — no ads, no subscriptions, and no upgrades required. Your prayer requests stay between you and God, securely stored and always accessible. Life gets busy, and it’s easy to forget who or what to pray for. Simplified Prayer helps you stay intentional — with tools that fit naturally into your day. It’s built to help you pray more often, remember better, and remind you to connect with the people you’re lifting up in prayer.
