Where PrayerCount comes from
PrayerCount began with a 90s kid who grew up praying every single day.
Before school, before exams, before sleep. A few minutes with folded hands, a lamp in the corner of the room, and words learned from parents and grandparents long before their meaning made sense.
Life got busier. Phones arrived, then work, then everything else. But the habit stayed, and it kept doing the same quiet thing it always had: it took a moment away from daily life.
A moment to reflect. A moment to be content with what we have.
Over the years, one thing became clear. Prayer is not owned by any one religion. People pray in temples and gurdwaras, in derasars and churches, in mosques and monasteries, at riverbanks and kitchen shelves. They pray with beads, with songs, with silence. The words change. The longing does not.
Whatever name we use, we are reaching for something beyond ourselves. Beyond this life, beyond this world, beyond the universe itself. Prayer is how we stay in touch with it.
PrayerCount is a small way to honour that. It keeps the count, so you can stay with the prayer.
