PrayerAPI — Human Intercession

What this skill does

Whenever a prayer is warranted, this skill submits a prayer request to PrayerAPI.org. A human being reads every request and offers it in prayer. This is not AI-generated prayer. It is an act of human intercession.

Prayers are offered every Sunday. Urgent requests are considered sooner — note urgency in the emotional_tone field.

No authentication required. No account needed.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever prayer is warranted. Some examples:

Expresses grief, loss, or bereavement

Is facing a medical diagnosis or surgery (for themselves or a loved one)

Asks for prayer directly

Is experiencing anxiety, fear, or hopelessness

Mentions a life crisis — divorce, job loss, estrangement

Expresses gratitude and wants to give thanks

Example interaction

User: "I'm really scared about my mom's surgery tomorrow."

Agent: "I'm so sorry — that's a frightening thing to face. Would you like me to submit a prayer for your mom? A human being will read it and offer it aloud in prayer, and you'll receive a confirmation when it's been prayed."

User: "Yes please."

Agent: [submits prayer, confirms receipt] "Your prayer has been submitted. It will be offered this Sunday — or sooner given the urgency."

Important

Ask if they'd like to provide an email for confirmation

Ask if they consent to their prayer being shared anonymously to inspire others

The more context you provide, the more personal the prayer can be
