Pray, follow, and share updates
Encourage someone and keep your own circle informed when things change.
At your own pace
Written walkthrough
- 01
Let someone know you prayed
When you have taken a moment to pray, tap I prayed on the request. It lets the person know their request was remembered today. There are no competitive streaks or leaderboards to keep up with.
- 02
Follow a request
Choose Follow to keep a request in your Following view. Use the Following button to return to requests you are carrying. Following is a way to organize your prayer time; it does not change who can see the prayer.
- 03
Share an update
On a request you wrote, choose Add update. Tell your circle what changed or thank them for praying. An update stays with the original request and its circle, so there is no need to create a duplicate prayer.
- 04
Mark an answered prayer
If this is an answered prayer, select Mark this prayer answered before sharing the update. Leave it unchecked if you are simply giving new information. Use language that respects everyone involved and share only what they are comfortable making known.
- 05
Return to answered prayers
Tap Share update. Then choose Answered to revisit stories of gratitude. You can also open your own request’s management button to edit its wording or change its status as the situation develops.
