A place for your prayers

Prayer & Answered Prayer Journal

A simple way for teachers and students to record prayers and document answered prayers over time.

How it works

Your prayer story, one step at a time

  1. Record your prayer

    Pick the date. Write your prayer in words or add a picture.

  2. Save it

    Your prayer is kept as its own entry with its date. You get a Prayer Code. Keep it somewhere safe.

  3. Come back later and find it

    Use your Prayer Code to find the prayer when you are ready to add an answer.

  4. Share & Celebrate

    Share prayer requests with your group, pray for each other, and celebrate the ways God answers prayers and works in your lives.

Start here

Record a prayer

You can do this on your own. Pick the date, type your prayer or add a picture, choose Private or Shared, and press Send. Pictures always stay private. You will get a Prayer Code. Keep it so you can add an answer later.

Your Prayer Code appears on the confirmation screen and in your confirmation email. Save it before you leave.

Come back and tell the story

Add an answered prayer

Your Prayer Code links the answer to your original prayer. Find the code on the confirmation screen or in the email from the first form. Enter the code, write how God answered it, and press Send. Your original prayer and its answer will then show together.

Shared prayers and answers appear on the wall only after SchoolPrayer staff approve them. Uploaded pictures always stay private.
