We know how important prayer is to your spiritual growth, both as an individual and as part of a community of faith. That’s why we created the prayer widget for your Faithlife groups. It’s an easy way to stay connected with your group members—to know who and what to pray for.

If you are an admin of a group, here’s how to add the prayer widget:

1. Go to your group settings. Click “Sidebar”; you’ll see all the widgets that are available for your group. Drag “Prayer Request” to your list of active widgets, and place it in the widget order you prefer.

FaithlifeYou’ve been using your Faithlife groups to get closer with your faith community. Maybe you’ve been sharing notes with your small group about your devotional. Or your pastor has been answering questions about the latest sermon series. But what about using your Faithlife group to share prayer requests?

Scripture tells us that prayer is one of Christianity’s most powerful facets: “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (Mark 11:24). With Faithlife, now you can grow closer with your community and enrich your prayer life—just add the Faithlife Prayer Request widget to your Faithlife group. You’ll see how many prayers have been prayed and who is praying together, and you’ll celebrate when prayers are answered.

Adding the Faithlife Prayer Request widget is simple:

  1. Prayer WidgetClick on your name in your profile*
  2. Select the Edit Profile gears on the right
  3. Click the Sidebar tab along the top of the page
  4. Drag the “Today’s Prayers” widget to the Active side
  5. Start adding prayers!

The Bible is God’s love letter to his faithful; what better way to answer prayers than with Scripture? The Faithlife Prayer Request widget syncs with your Logos base package, so you’ll be able to see prayer requests and search for relevant verses to help your fellow group members find answers in the Word.

Add the widget today—see how powerful prayer can be in helping you grow closer as a community and closer to Christ.

*You can also add a Prayer Request widget to any of your Faithlife groups.
