Put prayer before the scroll, for your whole congregation.

Hundreds of thousands of people use AI prayer apps to block other distracting apps like TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. But Prayer Shield is the first to share 30% of revenue back to your ministry while providing your congregation discounted access to the app. And if you'd like, we'll hand you the ability to edit the daily prayers and control access to the app's AI.

A generational divide

The same generation least connected to daily prayer is the most connected to their screens.

63% of adults under 30 are online almost constantly.

Only 27% of those same young adults pray every day.

What pastors already feel in the pews

The research doesn't say phones caused the decline in daily prayer or church participation. But it does show something pastors already feel: the generation facing the strongest pull toward constant connectivity is the same generation least likely to pray daily, attend monthly, or belong to a congregation. You can't out-pastor an algorithm from the pulpit alone once a week. Churches need daily tools that help families put prayer first, before the apps unlock.
