Active prayers naturally fall down the Prayer Wall as newer prayers come in. When a need is still ongoing — a child's surgery delayed, a job search still in progress, a marriage still in difficulty — you can boost your own prayer to re-surface it to the top of the wall.

How to boost #

1. Open your prayer's detail page (tap or click the prayer card on the Prayer Wall, or from your dashboard).
2. Below the prayer, look for the Boost button next to the Share / Edit / Delete buttons.
3. Tap it. The prayer immediately re-appears at the top of everyone's Prayer Wall, the same way a freshly-submitted prayer would.

The original date the prayer was submitted does not change — what changes is where it sorts in the feed. Anyone viewing the prayer detail still sees its real submission date.

One boost per prayer per day #

You can boost the same prayer once every 24 hours. After you boost, the button shows "Boosted" and is disabled until the cooldown clears. This is intentional — without the cooldown, the wall would become a contest for whoever boosts most.

If you have multiple active prayers, each one has its own 24-hour cooldown. You can boost three different prayers in a single day, just not the same one three times.

What boost does NOT do #

• It doesn't send a notification to anyone. The prayer just shows up at the top of the wall.
• It doesn't change the prayer's content or status.
• It doesn't earn you anything.
• It doesn't work on prayers you don't own. You can only boost your own prayers.
• It doesn't work on Pending or Flagged prayers — they have to be Active and shared first.

A boost stays in place: the prayer keeps its new spot on the wall and newer prayers flow in above it over time, just as they would for a new prayer. There's no "unboost" action. If the need is still ongoing later, you can boost it again once the 24 hours are up.

Sorting the wall by Oldest first ignores boosts and shows prayers in the order they were submitted.
