Prayer List
Your prayer list is a personal space to write down everything you are bringing before God. It helps you stay faithful in prayer and gives you a beautiful record of how God has moved in your life over time.What Is the Prayer List?
The prayer list is exactly what it sounds like — a place to write down your prayers so you do not forget them. You can add new prayers, mark them as answered (and celebrate!), archive old ones, and filter between active and answered prayers.How to Get There
Tap the Prayers tab at the bottom of your screen (the heart icon). Your prayer list opens right up.Adding a New Prayer

Tap the 'Add Prayer' button
In the top-right corner, you will see an Add Prayer button with a plus icon. Tap it.
3
Enter a title
Give your prayer a short title — something like “Healing for Mom,” “Wisdom for my job decision,” or “Peace about the move.” This field is required.

Below the title, there is a description field where you can add more context. This is optional, but it can be helpful to write out the details of what you are praying for.

The prayer moves to your Answered tab
Your prayer is now marked as answered, with the date it was answered. You can find it under the Answered tab anytime.
Archiving a Prayer
Sometimes a prayer is no longer active, but it was not exactly “answered” either — maybe the situation changed, or you have moved on. That is what archiving is for.1

2
Tap the archive icon
Next to each prayer, you will see a small archive icon (looks like a box). Tap it.

Privacy
Your prayer list is completely private to your account. No one else can see your prayers — not other users, not the GodFocus team. This is between you and God.“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6
