Real People, Real Needs
People trust Thoughts About God with personal situations and ask someone to stand with them in prayer.
Prayer Ministry
Join Our Prayer Team
Every week, people come to Thoughts About God and ask for prayer. Some are facing hard times. Others are beginning a new life of faith in Jesus.
If you have a heart for prayer, you can help. Join our Prayer Team and pray for people who have asked us to stand with them.
- Serve through prayer
- Requests stay private
- Volunteer from wherever you are
Why This Ministry Matters
Every Prayer Request Comes From a Real Person
People contact Thoughts About God from many places around the world. They may be facing illness, grief, family problems, money concerns, fear, loneliness, or a hard decision.
New Believers Need Prayer
Some people contact us after choosing to follow Jesus and need prayer and encouragement as they begin their new journey of faith.
Bring Their Needs Before God
Our Prayer Team helps by faithfully bringing people and their needs before God.
Your Role
The Role Is Simple: Pray
You do not need to be a pastor, counsellor, or Bible teacher. Instead, we are looking for Christians who care about others and are willing to pray.
Pray for God's comfort, wisdom, peace, strength, healing, direction, and help.
Most of all, ask God to be near each person who has trusted us with a prayer request.
How It Works
What Happens Each Week?
Prayer requests come to Thoughts About God through our website. Then our Prayer Coordinator gathers the requests for the Prayer Team.
Requests Come In
People visit our website and share what they would like prayer for.
We Prepare the List
Our Prayer Coordinator gathers the requests and prepares them for our volunteer team.
You Pray
Include the requests in your personal prayer time, daily devotions, or an appropriate prayer group.
When Are Prayer Requests Sent?
Prayer Team members normally receive the prayer list once each week on Wednesday.
You can then set aside time during the week to pray through the requests in a way that works with your schedule.
New Believers
We Also Pray for People Beginning Their Faith Journey
Some visitors decide to follow Jesus after reading a devotional, article, or story on Thoughts About God.
This is an important time in their lives. For that reason, we also pray that they will grow in faith, find Christian support, and continue walking with God.
Serving Together
What Do We Ask of Prayer Team Members?
Prayer Team members are volunteers. However, the role carries responsibility because people may share very personal needs with us.
- Have a personal faith in Jesus Christ.
- Make a sincere effort to pray for the requests they receive.
- Treat every person with care and respect.
- Keep prayer requests private.
- Never post, forward, or publicly share prayer requests.
- Pray without judging the person or their situation.
- Understand that this is a prayer ministry, not a counselling or crisis service.
Your Commitment
You Are Not Committing Forever

If you need to leave the Prayer Team, simply let us know. We can remove your name from the weekly prayer list.
We want this ministry to be a meaningful part of your faith, not a burden.
