Post a Prayer Request — and Pray for Someone Else's

Some burdens want to be written down and handed over. The prayer wall in the Quiethaven app is a place to post a prayer request — with your name or anonymously — and a place to read what others are carrying and pray for them. It is free on iPhone.

Write it down, hand it over

A request is a few honest sentences, up to 500 characters: a mother's surgery on Friday, eleven days sober, a marriage harder than anyone warned. Choose a category — health, family, work, faith, grief, gratitude or other — and choose how it is signed. Post anonymously, and your name and photo stay hidden.

Watch the count rise

When someone reads your request and prays, they tap I prayed, and the count on your request rises by one. Others can leave a few words of support underneath. Something changes in a hard week when the screen says forty people have prayed for your mother by name.

Reading requests is a prayer practice

Read the newest requests, or the ones the most people have prayed for, or narrow the wall to a single category. Reading slowly and stopping to pray for each need is a practice of its own. When a prayer is answered, its author can mark it so, and it also appears under the Answered tab — the part of the wall that keeps people praying.

Kept gentle

The wall has one rule: be gentle — no judgment, no advice, no personal details. You can report a request or a comment that breaks it, and repeated reports take a request down. You can also block someone: you stop seeing their requests and comments, and they are not told.

A prayer request is not an emergency line. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact emergency services or a crisis line first. In the United States, call or text 988.

Part of a larger practice

The prayer wall lives alongside the rest of Quiethaven: live prayer circles where people pray together by voice, a prayer timer for the daily quiet, the verse of the day, and pastoral counseling with verified clergy when a request needs a person, not a wall.

Post your first request, or pray for someone's — free on iPhone.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I post a prayer request?

In the Quiethaven app for iPhone. Open the prayer wall, tap Request prayer, write what you are carrying and send it. Posting a request and praying for others are free.

Can I post a prayer request anonymously?

Yes. Turn on Post anonymously and your name and photo are hidden from everyone who reads the request.

How do I know anyone actually prayed?

Every request shows how many people have prayed for it. When someone taps ‘I prayed’, the count on your request grows.

Can I pray for other people's requests?

Yes — that is half the point. Read the wall, and when a request stays with you, tap ‘I prayed’. The person who wrote it will see the count rise.

What happens when a prayer is answered?

Mark your request as answered. It gets an Answered badge and appears under the Answered tab, where others can see it and give thanks with you.
