During the day, you can actively and earnestly give praise to God. During your waking hours, you can set aside time to make a prayer request which can provide a unique and special way for God to hear your pleas. However, once the sun goes down and you are ready to get some rest at the end of a long day, night prayers can implore God to keep you safe and protected throughout the night.
You will receive photos of your printed prayer request placed on the Stone of Anointing; the place where Jesus’ body was prepared for burial after his crucifixion.
