Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how Prayer Helper works and what to expect.
Why did you create Prayer Helper?
Many people want to pray but struggle to find the right words, especially in difficult moments. Something that should feel peaceful can end up feeling frustrating or out of reach. Prayer Helper was created to make prayer easier to begin by offering gentle guidance and helping people express what is on their heart in a clear, meaningful way.
Is Prayer Helper free?
Yes. Prayer Helper is completely free and always will be. We cover costs like hosting, domain renewal, and ongoing development through generous donations from people who want to keep it available to everyone. Donations are never required. If you would like to help, you can give on our donation page.
How does it work?
Choose a prayer type, then answer up to six uncomplicated questions about your situation. Every question is optional. Our system crafts a prayer tailored to what you shared, which you can read or hear read aloud. Guides for each type live on our prayer types page.
Is this AI?
Yes. Prayer Helper uses AI to draft a personalized prayer from the answers you choose to share. You remain in control: skip questions, edit the prayer in your own words, or use it only as a starting point. It is a writing companion for prayer, not a church, pastor, or counselor.
What is the difference between General, Grief, Gratitude, Emergency, and Tragedy?
General is for everyday prayer. Grief & Loss helps when you are mourning. Gratitude focuses on thanksgiving. Emergency is for urgent personal crises. Tragedy is for praying after violence, disaster, or community-wide loss. Each type asks different questions. Read the prayer type guides or start from the homepage generator.
Is there a prayer hotline I can call?
Yes! We offer an AI-powered prayer hotline for immediate support. Simply call (463) 777-2937 and you will be guided through a conversation where you can share what is on your heart. Our system will create a personalized prayer and speak it to you over the phone.
The hotline is completely confidential, available 24/7, and free to call. It is for prayer support, not medical, safety, or mental-health emergencies. In those cases, contact local emergency services.
What happens to the information I share?
Your answers are used to generate your prayer. We do not sell your data. For details on the website, hotline, and related features, see our Privacy Policy.
Can I change the prayer?
Yes. You do not need to read the prayer exactly as written. Use it as a guide and personalize it to fit your beliefs and intentions. The point of Prayer Helper is to help you connect with God in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.
Can anyone use Prayer Helper?
Yes, anyone can use Prayer Helper regardless of their faith or background. Our goal is to provide a tool for anyone who wants to connect with their spirituality and find words for prayer.
How long does it take? How often can I use it?
Your personalized prayer is generated instantly after you submit. You can use Prayer Helper as often as you like. The service is available 24/7.
Can I donate?
Yes, if you are comfortable. While Prayer Helper is completely free and donations are never required, we deeply appreciate support from those who are able to give. Contributions help cover hosting and motivate continued improvements. You can give on our support page.
