How the National
Prayer Wall Works
The National Prayer Wall isn’t just a website — it’s a living system that connects faith with action in every ZIP Code across the United States. Here’s how everything comes together, step by step.
Step-by-Step
A request is submitted
Anyone, anywhere in the country, can share a prayer request or a real-world need. Whether it’s healing, provision, encouragement, or something practical like help repairing a roof or needing a wheelchair — every request is entered into the Wall.
Prayer partners (and the nation) pray
Once submitted, the request appears on the Wall where thousands of partners can see it, stand in agreement, and pray for that specific need. Collective intercession turns the Wall into a national prayer movement.
Local partners are notified
Including a ZIP Code helps us alert local churches and nonprofit partners so they can come alongside the requester with practical support where appropriate — connecting prayer to action right in their community.
Answers become God Stories
When prayers are answered, testimonies are shared nationally and locally so people can see that God is moving in their own ZIP Code — building faith for the next request.
Why ZIP Codes & Details Matter
Helpful Request Details
- Type of need (medical, financial, encouragement, practical)
- ZIP Code (to connect with local partners)
- Urgency (time-sensitive needs)
- Privacy preference (public or staff-only)
Local Connection
ZIP Code routing helps align churches, nonprofits, and volunteers to serve nearby families. It’s how prayer quickly translates into tangible help.
National Coverage
While local partners engage nearby, the broader network keeps covering each request in prayer — uniting believers across the country.
Real-Life Example
ZIP 85032: A family requests help with groceries. The Wall publishes their request. Hundreds pray. Local churches and nonprofits are alerted and coordinate resources. Within days, the pantry is full. Prayer becomes action.
