The Lighthouse Prayer App exists to mobilize Christians to pray for the fulfillment of the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. Inspired by the historic Moravian prayer movement, The Lighthouse calls people everywhere to set aside one intentional hour to seek God through guided prayer, Scripture, worship, and community. By helping ordinary people build a faithful rhythm of prayer, we become part of something far greater than ourselves—a growing movement united in loving God, loving people, and making disciples. PRAYER ROOM Enter an immersive 60-minute guided prayer experience designed to help you pray with purpose and stay fully engaged. Every five minutes, a gentle chime leads you to the next of twelve guided prayer prompts. Ambient music and a distraction-free environment create space to slow down, focus, and encounter God. WATCH SCHEDULE Build a consistent rhythm of prayer around an hour you set apart each week. Receive reminders, and see opportunities to join others who have committed their hour to this same rhythm of returning to God. LIVE PRAYER MAP Watch the map come alive as people enter the Prayer Room from different cities and communities. See who is praying in real time and be reminded that every hour offered to God is part of something far greater than ourselves. COMMUNITY Our growing prayer community is a place to share testimonies, answered prayers, and words of encouragement. As we align our hearts in this shared space, God is glorified, faith is strengthened, and His Kingdom advances through the prayers of His people. PRAYER RESOURCES Access a growing collection of prayer guides, prayer plans, Scripture, and carefully curated resources designed to encourage, equip, and strengthen you as a believer. Whether you're learning to pray or seeking to go deeper, you'll find trusted resources to help you pray with confidence and according to God's Word and His will. FAITH JOURNEY Celebrate what God is doing in and through your life as you continue drawing closer to Him through prayer. Along the way, you'll see milestones that reflect your faithfulness, celebrate lives being lifted before God, and be reminded that every hour surrendered to Him becomes part of His greater work. Anyone. Anywhere. One hour that moves heaven and changes earth.
