Frequently Asked Questions

What is +Prayer?

A daily prayer list. Real names, real intentions โ€” assembled by hand, bound, and wax-sealed every day. Comment ๐Ÿ™ on any post to have your name on tomorrow's list.

Do I have to be religious to participate?

No. +Prayer is not affiliated with any religion or tradition. It is open to anyone who believes that being held in someone's thoughts matters.

How do I get on the list?

Comment ๐Ÿ™ on any +Prayer post on YouTube or Instagram. That's it. Your name goes on tomorrow's list. If you're a follower, you can add a brief intention after your ๐Ÿ™ โ€” for example: ๐Ÿ™ Mom's healing.

How do you collect the commenters to put onto the lists

This is a really fun part for us from an engineering perspective. We use scripts along with each platform's APIs to collect, filter, and dedupe all the comments and commenters. The end result is a list of users and intentions that are printed onto the next prayer list.

Why can't I join the list from TikTok?

TikTok does not allow third-party access to comments. That means there's no way to read TikTok comments and add names to the list without violating their terms of service. To be added, comment ๐Ÿ™ on YouTube or Instagram instead.

What happens after I comment?

Your name is added to the next day's list. The list is printed, hand-stitched, and wax-sealed. The ritual is filmed and posted daily โ€” you can watch it happen.

Do I need to comment every day to stay on the list?

Yes. The list resets daily, so you need to comment to be on each new list. That's not a limitation โ€” it's the point. Showing up each day is what makes it a practice.

Can I add an intention โ€” a prayer request โ€” for someone else?

Yes. Comment ๐Ÿ™ followed by a brief intention. Keep it short. There's no wrong way to phrase it.

Is the list public?

The list is photographed and shown publicly, but the names and intentions are intentionally out of focus to maintain the privacy of our community. This will become more important when we launch our app where public comments are not the only things on the list.

Is this free?

Yes. Commenting ๐Ÿ™ costs nothing. An app is in development that will offer additional features โ€” details on that when it's ready.

Where does the list go after it's sealed?

The current list is still resting as you see in the video to receive your focused prayers. Previous lists are archived. Every list is numbered and kept. List #1 still exists.

How do you enforce intentions?

Followers can add an intention after their ๐Ÿ™ โ€” for example, "๐Ÿ™ Healing for mom". If you do, it goes on the list with your name. We don't enforce this though. It's an honor system. We print what we receive.

Who makes this?

A husband and wife team who love kindness and are accepting of all people.
