A Companion in Prayer

What it is: Add the people and goals on your heart. When you Gather, Prayer Lots draws your daily (or weekly or monthly) portion for you to pray through at your own rhythm.

Why it exists: It's easy to keep praying for the same few and forget the rest. Prayer Lots picks for you — like daily manna. Your part is to pray through it.

How it works: Add Prayer Requests. Tap Gather when you're ready. Pray what you receive. If it's a Prayer Request you want to always remember, add it to your Standing Stones, and you'll always be able to find it.

What it is: Anyone or anything you bring to God — a friend, a stranger, healing, wisdom, a job. Together they're what you carry.

Why it exists: Naming things matters. Adding a person or a goal entrusts that specific need to God.

How it works: Add a Prayer Request, choose “A Person” or “A Goal,” and add any details. When God answers, mark it as a Testimony. When a Prayer Request is one you want to always remember, add it to your Standing Stones.

What it is: Some prayers stay with you always — a child, a marriage, a calling, a long illness. These are the Prayer Requests meant to be remembered, whether for an extended period or forever, as part of your Standing Stones.

Why it exists: On Aaron's breastpiece, twelve engraved stones bearing the names of Israel sat over his heart whenever he entered the Holy Place — a continual remembrance before the Lord. Some prayers in your life are like those stones: not waiting their turn, but always carried.

How it works: Add a Prayer Request and choose “Add to your Standing Stones.” It will be set apart, visible, and easily accessible at all times.

What it is: One person you've partnered with for one-on-one prayer. Share Prayer Requests visible only between you. When you pray for theirs, they're notified and vice versa.

Why it exists: Scripture speaks of the strength of two. Someone who prays for you — and you for them — builds trust and real spiritual friendship.

How it works: Send a buddy request to someone by their username. Once accepted, what you share is visible only between you. Because the only thing between two buddies should be prayer.

What it is: A small, private group — your family, your small group, your church team — that shares Prayer Requests and prays together.

Why it exists: Some prayers can feel too heavy for one or two people to carry. Tables give you and your group a private place to bring needs and pray for one another.

How it works: Set a Table and add members by username. Bring Prayer Requests to your Table — Stewards can (if they like) review them before they're shared to lead with more order. And when someone at your Table prays for your request, that notification will remind you that you're not carrying it alone.

What it is: When God answers, mark a Prayer Request as a Testimony — a record of what He has done. Buddies and Table members who prayed for it are encouraged.

Why it exists: Testimonies are how God's people have always told the story — not to perform, but to witness. Every answered prayer is held, so it isn't forgotten.

How it works: On a Prayer Request, choose “Mark as Testimony.” Optionally add a few words about how God answered — the Buddies and Table members who prayed for it will be notified.

What it is: A simple view of the last 7 days — every prayer you've prayed through, every prayer you've lifted alongside others.

Why it exists: It's good to remember. Not to measure yourself, but to see what God has carried you through.

How it works: Open Remembrance for a day-by-day view. Each day shows what you prayed for — from the Gathering, with a buddy, or at a Table.

What it is: Prayer Lots tells you when today's portion is ready, when a Prayer Buddy prays for you, or when a Prayer Request is brought to one of your tables.

Why it exists: You shouldn't have to remember to check the app. Notifications carry the moment to you — your portion is ready, a Buddy prayed for your prayer, or someone at your Table joined in.

How it works: A bell appears in the top bar when something is waiting. Enable push notifications to be reminded even when the app is closed.

Flows into: Prayer Buddies, Tables, Mobile App

What it is: Shape how Prayer Lots fits your rhythm — how often you Gather (daily, weekly, monthly, or all three), how many Prayer Requests per portion, when to be reminded, and how the app looks.

Why it exists: Each gathered as much as they could eat — no more, no less. Set the rhythm that fits the season you're in.

How it works: Open Settings to set your rhythms, portion size, timezone, accent color, and push notifications.
