Prayer in an emergency
When something urgent is happening (medical, safety, family, mental health, or another sudden crisis), you may only have breath for a few words. An emergency prayer helps you ask for help clearly when time and clarity are short.
Why this kind of prayer is hard
Fear and urgency shrink language. You may not know what to ask for beyond “please help.” Naming the situation and the most urgent need is often the bravest prayer you can offer in the moment.
What Prayer Helper will ask
Every question is optional. Skip anything that does not feel right.
- What's the emergency situation?
- Who needs immediate help?
- What's the most urgent need right now?
- What do you need from God in this crisis?
- What gives you hope in this emergency?
How it helps
Answer what you can about the emergency and who needs care. Prayer Helper generates a focused prayer for this crisis. If you need someone to talk with by phone, our hotline is also available when enabled.
