Practicing Prayer vs Pray By Name

Prayer is most powerful when it's personal. Pray By Name keeps a photo visible while you pray — because praying by name means more than reading words on a screen. When you see a face, prayer becomes intentional. Organize your prayer life your way Create prayer collections for the people and causes on your heart — family, friends, ministries, or anything that matters to you. Add a photo to each one and pray through them daily with the person right in front of you. Three ways to pray Daily Prayers — Work through your prayer lists one at a time or as a scrollable list. Move through multiple collections in the order you set. Shuffle — A separate pool of prayers drawn in random order. Great for when you have a fixed amount of time or want to keep your routine fresh. Over time you'll pray through all of them. Extended — Prayers that deserve more time. Missionaries, persecuted Christians, prayers for salvation, people from your past. Worked through in an order you choose. Track what God has done Mark prayers as answered and they move to your Answered Prayers log — a growing record of God's faithfulness you can search and reflect on.
