REAL-TIME PRAYER
9 p.m. (Eastern) daily
12 noon (Eastern) weekdays

Welcome to the Prayer Chapel—a quiet space on the Internet where you can join others in daily prayer. If you'd like us to pray with you for any reason, we invite to real-time evening prayer in Prayer Chapel Live at 9 p.m. (Eastern) every day, and 12 noon (Eastern) Monday through Friday. Or post your prayer requests any time of day or night in the Prayer Chapel Forum. Both options are linked on the left of this page.

You're not praying alone! UCC congregations throughout the country will include prayer requests posted in the Prayer Chapel Forum when they gather on Sunday morning.

Our real-time service is simple: after introductions and an opening prayer, the designated prayer leader posts a brief reading from the Bible—verse by verse. After a time for silent meditation, we continue with prayer requests or thanksgivings which anyone may post. After everyone has had an opportunity to pray, we conclude with a poem or some other spiritual text, and a blessing.

God is still speaking, but God is also listening. When we pray with and for each other, we are close to the compassionate heart of God. You're welcome to join us!

Is Prayer Effective?

The Apostle Paul said, "The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." (Romans 8:26-27 NRSV)

Even if we don't know our deepest needs, or why we are praying, the Spirit knows our hearts and prays with us. Empowered by this Spirit, Christians throughout the world pray night and day for each other and for the liberation of all humanity from suffering, poverty and war. The prayer of Christians is continuous—in families, congregations, religious communities, and in the solitude of those who are alone.

Here in this small corner of the World Wide Web, we are part of the Great Church praying for every human need. Pray for us, as we pray for you, that God will unite us in our diversity and strengthen us through the Spirit to show God's love to everyone we meet.
