Using the Prayer Display #

The Prayer Display is a customizable, branded page that shows shared prayers from your organization’s members. It’s designed to be displayed on screens in churches, lobbies, or shared via links with your community.

Prayer Display URLs #

Each organization has its own Prayer Display page:

• All prayers (default template): prayer.prayerconnect.church/PrayerDisplay
• Organization-specific: prayer.prayerconnect.church/PrayerDisplay/{orgGuid}
• Specific prayer: prayer.prayerconnect.church/PrayerDisplay/{orgGuid}/{userGuid}/{prayerId}

View Modes #

The Prayer Display supports two view modes, controlled by a URL parameter:

• Show Request (default): ?view=showrequest — Displays the original prayer request as written by the user.
• Show Prayer: ?view=showprayer — Displays the AI-generated prayer text.

Organization Template Customization #

Organization admins can customize their Prayer Display’s appearance. Template options include:

Colors #

• Background gradient (start and end colors)
• Text color
• Accent color
• Emergency prayer highlight color

Typography #

• Primary font (for prayer text)
• Secondary font (for headers and UI elements)

Branding #

• Organization logo URL
• Show/hide logo
• Header text
• Footer text

Display Settings #

• Rotation delay (how long each prayer is shown, in milliseconds)
• Refresh interval (how often new prayers are loaded)
• Layout template: Classic, Modern, or Minimal
• Transition effect between prayers
• Show/hide prayer count, user name, and date

How Prayers Appear #

A prayer appears on an organization’s Prayer Display if:

1. The prayer is shared (the author chose to share it).
2. The prayer is active (processed and approved).
3. The user who created the prayer is a member of that organization.

Prayers are sorted with emergency prayers first, then by newest first.

View Tracking #

When someone views a prayer through the Prayer Display, the view is logged with geolocation data (city, country, coordinates). This data is visible to the prayer author on their Prayer View Map. The Prayer Display page is public — no login is required to view it.
