Pray as a family or couple with Wave
Key #5: prayer at home does not need to be complicated. Wave gives your family or couple a private movement to carry requests together and keep Jesus at the center, one day at a time.
Families and couples pray together in Wave through one private movement: everyone adds requests to shared subjects, and Wave keeps a simple rhythm centered on Jesus, without a busy chat feed.
Create one private space for your home
A private movement invites only the people you choose: your spouse, your children, or your close family. It stays quiet and simple, away from noisy group chats.
Share subjects instead of scattered messages
Each subject holds a request and its updates in one place, so everyone remembers what to pray for, from a school exam to a job interview.
Keep a simple rhythm that fits your season
Pray together at dinner, before bed, or whenever your family gathers. Wave adapts to a few minutes or a longer time, without pressure.
Track answers as a family
When a prayer is answered, mark it and celebrate together. Children and adults alike learn to notice how God is at work.
Stay connected even when apart
Traveling, at school, or at work: everyone can still add a request or check in on the family's prayer subjects from their phone.
