Instananeous Prayer Requests On The Web

The Internet has opened the door for untold avenues of communication and information since it’s inception in the 1990s. And if there’s one door which helps connect, affect and transform people’s lives it is the ability of being able to submit prayer requests over the Internet.

Prayer never has been limited by time or space as God, or one’s concept of God, is always listening to the prayers of His people. However, thanks to Internet technology, a person can send their prayer requests for health, relationships and even finances into the Internet and have someone at the other end of the world pray for their need(s).

Requesting prayers has previously existed through radio or television by sending prayer requests by mail or calling a dedicated 800 number. However, today prayer requests can be picked up and prayed over as soon as fingers hit a keyboard, instantaneously. By simply submitting a contact form through email or “chat” persons can know that on the other end is aother person willing to “join in the prayer of agreement” with their particular need.

There literally exists thousands of Internet websites dedicated to not only receiving prayer requests but giving spiritual counseling and providing inspirational tools. These may include things such as: online Bibles, Biblical dictionaries, concordances, lexicons, devotionals, candles, incense and other aids to enhance worship.

Yes, one does not necessarily have to go to Jerusalem either as a Jew or Christian to pray but if you are either, you can transcend time and space submitting one’s petitions on various Internet websites. Some even offer a feature for not only processing prayer requests, but if a Christian, one can also request to have a candle(s) lit at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem – the most Holiest site on earth for Christians.

At times in your everyday walk, you want to send a prayer request and there seems like there is no one for you to turn to. That is the reason for this website. Any hour of the day or night, you can send a prayer request through to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

The Power of Prayer

There is a saying that says, the only thing stronger than a mother’s love, is the love of our Father in Heaven. His Love for you is as high as the Heavens and as deep as the ocean, and there is nothing that can ever separate you from His Love. Jesus took the keys of sin and death away from the one who would torture you, and He took them forever! He was put on the cross and now Christians have power to win any problem they have because Jesus already won! A prayer request shared with two or three prayer partners will bring unity and agreement to your request.

The Holiest Place on Earth
Fill out your prayer request and send it through this website. A prayer request sent through here will go to the prayer room of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where a candle will be lit for your prayer that is lifted up. It is personal, quiet and direct to prayer partners who receive every prayer request.

What should I Pray for?

In 1Peter 5:7 Jesus said, “Give ALL your worries and cares to Me, for I care for you,” so give everything to Him. You can only communicate with God in prayer, and you can ask for healing, emotional or family problems, financial security, or anything else that is troubling you. Jesus has all the promises and answers for every person on Earth!

The internet is filled with prayer request sites for those of all faiths both Christian and Non-Christian.

Few people in the world whether they are a member of or attend any body of worship will dispute the power of prayer. While many sites are hosted by a particular faith, some are hosted by well-known television evangelists.

One of the prayer request sites dedicated to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem offers users the opportunity to submit photographs along with their prayer request. The photographs and prayer request will be displayed in the church. A nun will offer up the submitted prayer as well as light a candle if requested.

Many prayer request sites offer uses the opportunity to contact them by a toll-free phone number, email address and postal mailing address.

Reasons why people choose to submit prayer requests to these sites are believed to stem from the need to be in contact with others who share a common interest. Some people believe the speed of the internet gets them a faster response to their prayer submission. Basically it appears that people use these sites for many requests such as finances, addiction problems, the stress of everyday life and healing.

There are both advantages and disadvantages for using prayer request sites. Some sites require users to register and wait for a conformation email before submitting a prayer request.

A few sites charge a membership fee or a fee depending on prayer packages available from them. At some of these prayer request sites, email addresses are collected and automatically added to the site contact list which allows them to send periodic emails to the users. One of the main disadvantages is in some cases there is no way of knowing that anyone actually followed up on the prayer request.
