The story of Prayer Library 📖

Prayer Library emerged from my desire to create something meaningful for my software engineering program's final project - something that would extend beyond graduation and serve as a valuable resource for others.

Prayer is a pillar of our Christian journey, and as I developed this app, I envisioned three core purposes:

💬 Helping people find the words to pray. Many of us struggle to begin praying or express our thoughts, particularly during challenging times. Through curated prayers, people can discover they're not alone in their experiences and that others have walked similar paths and found words for their deepest emotions.

📕 Guiding people back to Scripture. When faced with difficult emotions, anchoring ourselves in God's truth becomes essential. Prayer Library helps bridge this connection by attaching relevant scripture passages to each prayer.

🙂 Creating space for emotional awareness. As someone who continues to work on recognizing my own emotions, I designed the app to help people identify and understand the emotions they're feeling, whether in the moment or throughout their day, and enter into a space of prayer.

My vision for Prayer Library is to ultimately draw people closer to the God who sees, hears, and deeply cares for them. There are times when I'm anxious about a conversation I'm about to have with someone so I'll use the app to remind myself of how God sees me and calls me His beloved, bringing me back to a place of peace. And I hope it can do the same for you. 🙂

Prayer Library is completely free to use and doesn't contain any ads but it does cost money to keep the app up and running. If you find value in this ministry and would like to support its continued development and maintenance, you can contribute through a one-time donation via Buy Me a Coffee or become a monthly supporter on Patreon. Your support helps ensure Prayer Library remains up and running!
