Prayers & Prayer Sessions
How Berea extracts prayers from sermons and guides you in praying them.
3 min read
One of the most distinctive features of Berea is its ability to extract prayers from sermon transcripts — turning a preacher's spoken prayers into a personal prayer list you can return to throughout the week.
Extracted prayers
When you open the Prayers tab on a sermon, Berea identifies every prayer spoken during the transcript — opening prayers, altar calls, personal prayer examples, and closing blessings. Each extracted prayer shows:
- The full text of the prayer
- The scripture passage it references (if any)
- Context explaining when in the sermon the prayer occurred
Prayer sessions
Tap any prayer to start a guided prayer session. Berea walks you through the prayer with a soft timer and prompt text, creating a structured few minutes of focused intercession. Sessions typically run 3–7 minutes.
Your prayer list
All extracted prayers across all sermons are collected in the main Prayer section of the app. You can:
- Organize prayers into categories (Gratitude, Intercession, Confession, etc.)
- Mark a prayer as answered — it moves to an "Answered" archive rather than being deleted.
- Add your own personal prayers independent of any sermon.
