Beginning Tips
A few ideas for how to get the most out of PrayMyJourney, whether or not you have a Journey to start right away.
Don't have a Journey to start right away?
Here are two ways to start using PrayMyJourney right now.
Probably the best way to get started — two-way prayer requests, praying for each other.
- Go to CommunityFrom the dashboard, navigate to the Community section.
- Start a Small GroupClick “Start A Small Group,” then enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite — your family, a close group of friends, or even just one other person as a prayer partner.
- Everyone shares requestsOnce the group is created, have each member create their own prayer requests — you'll be praying for each other, two-way.
Pray for the people on your own list, and keep your prayers for others organized.
- Go to My Prayer RequestsFrom the dashboard, navigate to the “My Prayer Requests” section.
- Create a Standalone requestCreate a new prayer request as a Standalone request — no group or Journey needed.
- Keep them organizedExample: create a request for each member of your family and each friend in your friend group. You'll be able to filter your requests per person.
The Journey feature is a one-way prayer request to a prayer support team you build by entering the email addresses of its members. It's a great fit for missionaries and others who need to get prayer requests out to people and keep them updated.
Desktop websitevs.iPhone app
Treat PrayMyJourney like your email. A long email that needs real concentration is easier to write on your desktop or laptop. But a short email, or just checking for replies, is often more convenient on your iPhone — especially when you're out and about.
It's the same here. Building a Journey — entering in dozens of email addresses for your support team — is usually easier on a desktop or laptop. But once it's built, short updates and checking for responses are often more convenient on the iPhone app.
