# How to Send a Prayer Request

This article covers how to share a prayer request so your supporters can pray alongside you.

## Sharing a prayer request

1. Tap **New post**.
2. Choose **Prayer Request** as the post type.
3. Write what you'd like prayer for — be as specific or as general as you're comfortable.
4. Add a photo if it helps tell the story.
5. Tap **Post**.

Your request is clearly labeled as a prayer request, so supporters know to lift it up rather than simply read past it.

## How supporters respond

When you share a prayer request, supporters can let you know they're praying. That quiet tap of support means a lot on a hard day — you'll be able to see who's standing with you.

Supporters can also leave a comment with a word of encouragement or a promise to pray, and you can reply right back.

## Writing a prayer request that connects

- **Be honest.** Supporters want to carry the real thing with you, not a tidy version.
- **Be specific where you can.** "Pray for our visa appointment on Thursday" is easier to pray than "pray for us."
- **Follow up.** When a prayer is answered, share a Praise Report so your supporters can celebrate with you.

## A note on sensitive requests

If a request involves names, locations, or situations that could put someone at risk, share carefully. You can keep details general, or send the request to a smaller, trusted group of supporters — see our article on posting to a specific group.
