 "You've Got
Prayers!™"
Question: What do we mean by the Prayer
Depository? How is it different from a Prayer
Chain?
Answer: The power of prayer remains the
same. On this site, we welcome you to learn
more about why you should “bank on prayers”.
Let’s Learn A Little Bit About
Tradition:
 God will hear our prayers no matter where we are
when we pray. At the same time, the Bible teaches that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is
the place where God chose to place His Name for all time. It is one of the only places on
earth that He calls "holy". As they
have for centuries, Jewish people continue to place their written prayers in the cracks of
the Western Wall in the belief that they go straight to God.
The act of writing prayers on a piece of paper or in a journal and then placing them in a
safe spot to revisit and review helps one to focus and gain strength. Writing prayers becomes a tool that generates
internal peace, relief from hardship, and a connection to God. Words expressed on paper have powerful healing and
motivating effects.
A New Tradition:
We at the
Virtual Prayer Group have sought a way to advance traditional religious modes of prayer and enhance daily life through the
promotion of prayer. Therefore, we have
developed this dynamic Internet site to help people join together to seek strength,
guidance and sustenance. On our site, we will
invite visitors and members to post prayers for themselves and for others. They can return to see their prayers and the
prayers of others in times of need to gain hope, strength and encouragement. Wouldn’t it be wonderful for a sick relative
in a hospital, or in a nursing home, to log in to his or her special prayer page and gain
strength by viewing the good wishes and prayers of others?
In addition to
this Virtual Prayer Depository, we have created unique, tangible prayer depositories into
which one may place a written prayer for safe keeping and later reflection. We call these depositories the
PrayerBank.
 People are
welcome to give PrayerBanks as cherished gifts as a special way to say, “I care about
you!” The PrayerBank offers religious
teachers and parents a unique way to teach their children about the value of prayer. The PrayerBank also allows journal writers to
house their thoughts in a special place.
Fundraisers
will love the PrayerBank. What better way is
there to generate support for your religious organization, school, television or radio
station, than by offering people the opportunity to make deposits in a PrayerBank. Special, personalized PrayerBanks for different
groups or organizations will make this fundraiser even more successful and valued.
