What’s on your heart?
Share it in your own words. You can check what we understood before we pray.
Write a personal prayer without finding the perfect words
Prayer Pew is a personal prayer generator for the moment when you know what is happening, but do not know how to pray about it. Start above in ordinary language. You will see what Prayer Pew understood before the finished prayer is written.
Say what is true
Describe the situation as you would to someone you trust. Name what happened, what you are afraid of, grateful for, or asking God to help with. A few honest sentences are enough.
Check the prayer plan
Read the summary, prayer points, and Scripture passages first. Edit the points, add a detail, or go back if the plan has missed what matters.
Read or hear your prayer
Choose words you can pray yourself or a companion who will pray over you, then choose the length. Read the prayer quietly or listen as it is spoken aloud.
See the Scripture before the prayer is written
Prayer Pew shows the Bible passages selected for your situation in the plan, alongside the prayer points they are meant to support. You can read the references before continuing and decide whether the plan reflects what you meant.
Every plan and prayer is generated by AI. It can misunderstand or get something wrong, so read what comes back with discernment and set aside anything that does not ring true.
The public prayers by situation also explain the context of their passages, including where familiar verses can be stretched beyond what they say.
What happens to what you write
You do not need an account. As a guest, your plan and finished prayer are saved in this browser. Your words are sent securely to the services that prepare the plan and prayer. When personal narration is prepared, the finished prayer text is also sent to an audio provider.
Nothing you write here appears on the public Open Pew feed unless you separately choose to share a request there. The privacy notice names the providers, storage, and choices in full.
Examples of what you can write
You are not writing the prayer yet. Give Prayer Pew the details that would make a generic prayer feel wrong, and leave out anything you do not want to share.
