Browsing Shared Prayers on the Prayer Wall #

The Prayer Wall is a community prayer board where you can browse shared prayers from all the organizations you belong to. It’s a great way to discover prayer needs in your community and offer support.

Accessing the Prayer Wall #

Click “Prayer Wall” from the Menu dropdown in the navigation bar. You must be logged in to access the Prayer Wall.

What You’ll See #

The Prayer Wall shows prayer cards from other members in a grid layout:

• 3 cards per row on desktop screens
• 2 cards per row on medium screens
• 1 card per row on mobile devices

Each card displays:

• The author’s name (or “Anonymous” if the author chose to post anonymously)
• The date the prayer was submitted
• A preview of the prayer request (first 150 characters)
• URGENT badge for emergency prayers
• SHARED badge for shared prayers
• ANSWERED badge (green) for prayers the author has marked as answered
• Category tags as colored badges (if assigned)
• A “Support with Prayer” button with a count showing how many people have prayed

Answered Prayers on the Prayer Wall #

Prayers that have been marked as answered by their author display a green ANSWERED badge on the card. These prayers serve as testimonies of encouragement — a reminder that prayers are heard and answered. Answered prayers remain visible on the Prayer Wall alongside active requests.

Anonymous Prayers #

Some prayers on the Prayer Wall may show “Anonymous” as the author name. This means the person who submitted the prayer chose to share their request without revealing their identity. You can still support anonymous prayers by viewing them and clicking “I Prayed for This.”

Filtering and Sorting #

Use the filter bar at the top of the Prayer Wall to customize your view:

• Sort by: Choose between “Newest First” (default) or “Oldest First”
• Organization: Filter by “All Organizations” (default) or select a specific organization
• Category: Filter by tag category (e.g., Healing, Praise)
• Search: Type a keyword to search prayer text

Which Prayers Appear #

The Prayer Wall only shows prayers that meet all of these criteria:

• The prayer is active (status = processed and approved)
• The prayer is shared (the author chose to share it with the community)
• The prayer belongs to at least one organization that you are a member of

Supporting Others in Prayer #

Click on any prayer card to open the full prayer on the View Prayer page. You can click “I Prayed for This” to show your support — the author will see how many people have prayed for their request.

Pagination #

The Prayer Wall shows 12 prayers per page. Use the pagination controls at the bottom to browse through more prayers.
