How Iron Works Share Prayer Requests Post requests for yourself or someone else. Choose who can see them — your connections, specific people, or your flock (small group). Pray with Action Tap to let someone know you prayed for them, or send a voice prayer for a more personal touch. They'll get a notification on their phone saying "[Your Name] just prayed for you!" Stay Organized Keep prayer requests in one place instead of scattered across texts and group chats. Don't rely on just your memory for requests! Celebrate Answered Prayers Mark requests as answered and share updates with the people who have been praying. Small Groups (Flocks) Create or join flocks to pray consistently with your church, friends, or community. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
