An unspoken prayer request is when someone publicly asks to be in someone’s prayers but doesn’t give details, often because the issue is too sensitive or personal to talk about. While unspoken prayer requests are completely fine and within the teachings of the Bible, it can be helpful to confide in other people, even if it’s just a few loved ones. If you need to stay discreet for now, though, we’ll walk you through how to respectfully make an unspoken prayer request, plus what to do if you get one, yourself!
