A short guide.

1. Add a prayer

Tap Add a prayerfrom the top nav or anywhere across the site. A side sheet opens. Choose the prayer type, write what's on your heart, and pick the city you're writing from. You can post anonymously — your prayer text will be public, but your name will not.

• Personal prayer— anything you're asking God for, for yourself.
• Personal prayer for salvation — asking God to save you.
• Intercession for others — asking God on behalf of someone else.
• Intercession for others' salvation — asking God to save someone you love.

Pins land at the city center only — we never reveal a street address. See the privacy policy.

2. The color key

Every pin and dot on the map and in your journal follows the same color system, so a Personal Prayer is blue everywhere it appears.

• Personal prayerRoyal blue
• IntercessionVivid violet
• Salvation (both types)Deep red
• Answered prayerEmerald — overrides the type color
• Recent updateYellow ring around the pin
• New (24h)Pulse halo around the pin

Lifecycle signals (new, updated, answered) appear as visual modifiers on top of the type color, never replacing it — except for answered, which turns the pin emerald to celebrate the change.

3. The map and the wall

You can browse prayers two ways:

• The map — geographic. Pan the globe, see where the church is praying right now. Click any pin to read.
• The wall— temporal. Reverse-chronological feed of every prayer coming in, with filters for type, lifecycle, country, city, and keyword. New prayers slide in automatically, or politely buffer behind a “3 new prayers” banner if you're scrolled down reading.

4. Track + Save

When you sign in, every prayer you see has quick actions:

• Track— adds the prayer to your Tracking folder. You'll get a notification when the author posts an update or marks it answered. The author also sees that someone is now praying with them.
• Save — quietly bookmarks the prayer so you can return to it. The author is gently notified that you saved it.
• Share— copies a link to the prayer (or opens your phone's share sheet).

5. Adding updates + marking answered

On your own prayers in My Journal, you can:

• Add an update — a short note about what God is doing. Everyone tracking the prayer gets notified.
• Mark answered — a one-tap action that turns the prayer emerald everywhere. A confirmation dialogue with Psalm 66 opens. Everyone tracking the prayer is celebrated with you.
• Move to a folder — group related prayers (family, ministry, hard seasons) so you can find them.
• Pin — keep the most important ones at the top.

6. Notifications + email

You receive an in-app notification whenever:

• Someone posts an update on a prayer you're tracking
• A prayer you track or saved is marked answered
• Someone tracks your prayer (“Maria is now praying with you”)
• Someone saves your prayer

If you have email notifications turned on in Settings, we send a single hourly digest with everything new — never one email per event.

7. Privacy in one paragraph

Prayer content is public by default — that's the point of a shared map. Your name is private unless you choose otherwise. Email, password, birthday, and location precision are always private. Pins land at city center only — never your street, never your device's GPS. Full policy.

That's it.

You're ready to pray. The next person who walks in will be glad you did.
