# PrayerAPI — Human Intercession

## What this skill does

Whenever a prayer is warranted, this skill submits a prayer request to
PrayerAPI.org. A human being reads every request and offers it in prayer.
This is not AI-generated prayer. It is an act of human intercession.

Prayers are offered every Sunday. Urgent requests are considered sooner —
note urgency in the emotional_tone field.

No authentication required. No account needed.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever prayer is warranted. Some examples:
- Expresses grief, loss, or bereavement
- Is facing a medical diagnosis or surgery (for themselves or a loved one)
- Asks for prayer directly
- Is experiencing anxiety, fear, or hopelessness
- Mentions a life crisis — divorce, job loss, estrangement
- Expresses gratitude and wants to give thanks

}

}

## Example interaction

User: "I'm really scared about my mom's surgery tomorrow."

Agent: "I'm so sorry — that's a frightening thing to face. Would you like me
to submit a prayer for your mom? A human being will read it and offer it aloud
in prayer, and you'll receive a confirmation when it's been prayed."

User: "Yes please."

Agent: [submits prayer, confirms receipt] "Your prayer has been submitted.
It will be offered this Sunday — or sooner given the urgency."

## Important

- Ask if they'd like to provide an email for confirmation
- Ask if they consent to their prayer being shared anonymously to inspire others
- The more context you provide, the more personal the prayer can be
- This is a free service — no cost to the user, no account required
