Prayer isn't what
you feared —
it's what you
were made for.
God is always engaging with us. He invites us to engage with him. Make Prayer Beautiful exists to help shift you from prayer as rote recital to prayer woven into daily life.
Thousands have started their prayer journey here

Most of us were never
taught how to pray.
People care about their relationship with God — but in prayer we can feel unsure, ill-equipped, disappointed, or even ashamed. Not because prayer doesn't work. Because it has rarely been taught as a lived, relational practice.
No training
People are left to figure prayer out on their own — and feel like failures when they can't.
Guilt and shame
Prayer becomes a box to check, a source of guilt, a last resort rather than a first response.
Confusing
Does God actually speak? What does his voice sound like? The methods and expectations feel unclear.
Boring
Dry, monotonous, lifeless. Nothing like the vibrant relationship the Bible describes.
Pointless
Does it even work? Does God hear? Does anything change? The doubt quietly takes root.
Intimidating
Reserved for the especially holy or disciplined — not for ordinary people like me.
"With a list of words like that,
no wonder we think we're bad at prayer."
More than talking to God —
a full relationship.
In almost every chapter of the Bible, God is interacting with people — He talks and walks, instructs, comforts, corrects, and blesses.
Prayer includes everything we say to God, and everything He says to us — as well as everything we do for God, and everything He does for us.
Even the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray — and they walked daily with the God of the universe. They needed instruction, demonstration, and time.
Make Prayer Beautiful exists to help you move from prayer as rote recital to prayer woven into every corner of your daily life.

Real words from real people
Who started exactly where you are.
"The Prayer Refresh was so life-changing, perspective-shattering, and breathed so much needed life into me and our home that I have been missing and longing to go through it again. Regularly. Like monthly."
"You have truly taken down the facade that prayer is daunting. I used to think I needed a whole hour to be 'right' before the Lord. I am so grateful for the way you've helped me take advantage of every moment."
"20 days into this Refresh, I have been loving how I pray more and the peace coming with it. God is at work and with us at all times. I feel His presence so much more."
"I LOVE WHAT YOU ARE WRITING! It's brilliant! I want everyone I know to read it. Please keep it up."

Hi, I'm Amy —
and I was terrible at prayer.
I grew frustrated without mentoring, without anywhere to go for answers. I always felt extremely neurotic within a week or so of trying to dive deeper into prayer. And no one likes to feel like they're crazy.
So when the Lord invited me to pray again in 2018, I spent a year researching short prayers to carry throughout your day. I launched that to 2,000 people in 2020 — and the response was extraordinary.
Since then I've been on a mission to change the narrative on prayer worldwide — to help people discover that prayer isn't what they feared, but what they were made for.
I hold a doctorate in intercession and am co-founder of Workplace Prayer with Bob Perry, a fasting intercessor with 40+ years of daily prayer.
Prayer is a party.
The Host has thought
everything through.
Come practice living prayer. Come learn, stumble, grow, and delight. Come discover that prayer isn't what you feared — but what you were made for.
Free to start. No pressure. No guilt. Just prayer.
