To learn more, please review our Privacy Policy.

Why do I have to use a #keyword in my posts to the Uplift Prayer app?

Posts in the Uplift Prayer app are organized around #keywords (noted by hashtags). Uplift Prayer #keywords are a powerful tool in connecting people with like interests and identifying common topics, thoughts, or expressions. The #keywords also let people who have common prayer needs/interests easily find and interact with one another.

How do I select a keywords for my post?

When you select #keywords for a prayer you post, it might be helpful to think through some simple questions:

Who are you praying for? For example, #family, #pastor, #smallgroup, etc.
What situation are you praying for? For example, #sickness, #addiction, #travel, #finances, etc.
What are you asking to be done? For example, #healing, #safety, #breakthrough, etc.

The goal is to clearly define your request in a way that helps others be drawn to interact with you and your request. When you use keywords to answer these questions, you form a post that is easy for others to quickly understand.

The Uplift Prayer app offers an extensive list of stored keywords. If a keyword you want to include isn't yet stored in our database, you may use a new keyword for your post. Any new keyword is reviewed by our team for addition to our database.

If possible we recommend the use of existing keywords. This allows other users to more easily find your post, pray for your request and connect you with others with similar prayer concerns.
