Instead of a single daily devotional, it structures prayer around four moments of the working day, lets each day of the week carry its own arrangement, and lets whole teams and organizations pray the same rhythm together. The four workday prayer slots are: 1. Start of Day — beginning work with intention. 2. Midway — a mid-morning or mid-afternoon pause. 3. Lunch — gratitude and rest around the midday break. 4. End of Day — closing work and handing it over. Prayers are also organized by the seven days of the week, so a user can pray a different arrangement on Monday than on Friday. ## Core features ### Prayer Library (/library) A searchable, filterable collection of approved workplace prayers. Visitors can search by keyword, filter by category and tag, and open any prayer on its own page with the full text, author, and related categories. Every prayer has a stable URL of the form `/library/{slug}`. ### Format Builder (/format) A builder for personal prayer formats. Users pick prayers for each of the four workday slots, optionally starting from an admin-curated starter template, then save the format to their account. A weekly schedule card assigns a saved format to each day of the week, so the rhythm can vary Monday through Sunday. ### Reports, consolidated daily format, and PDF export (/reports) A printable summary of a prayer format, exportable as a formatted PDF. Members who belong to several groups also get a consolidated daily prayer format: one report that merges the personal weekday format, every inherited team and organization format, active Event Prayers, and standing intentions into a single ordered sequence. It is generated automatically each day and can be rebuilt on demand, so nobody has to reconcile four separate PDFs before praying. ### Prayer alerts Signed-in users can enable email alerts and browser push notifications for each of the four slots at times they choose, so each prayer moment arrives on its own. ### Submit a Prayer (/submit) A guided three-step submission flow where anyone can contribute a prayer. Submissions are reviewed by moderators before appearing in the library. ### Teams and organizations Groups — a parish staff, a department, a firm, a small group — can pray the same rhythm together. Teams nest inside one another up to ten levels deep and sit under an organization, so prayer formats published higher in the structure are inherited by everything beneath them. Team and organization admins invite members by email or join code, approve join requests, promote or remove members, and move whole subtrees when the structure changes. Organizations and teams can be public and discoverable by name, location, or keyword, or private and reachable only by invite code. ### Event Prayers Time-bounded prayer efforts for a particular occasion — a product launch, a merger, an illness, a conference. An Event Prayer can stand alone or attach to an organization, carries its own end date, invites participants by code, and is archived automatically after it ends. An Event Prayer without a defined format still contributes a standing intention to each member's consolidated daily report. ### Governance and security Community-submitted prayers pass through moderator review with recorded approval or rejection reasons and tag curation. Every account is protected by mandatory multi-factor authentication, access is role-based, and administrative reads are audited with metadata only. ## How someone typically uses the site 1.

Browsing the library requires no account; saving formats, alerts, teams, organizations, and Event Prayers require a free account. **Do I need an account to read prayers?** No. The prayer library and every individual prayer page are public. **Can prayer differ day to day?** Yes. Each weekday can be assigned its own saved format. **Can my team share one rhythm?** Yes. Team and organization admins publish shared formats that all members and every nested team inherit. **What if I belong to several groups?** The consolidated daily format merges every personal, team, organization, and event commitment into one report and one PDF. **How is this different from a devotional app?** It is built around the working day and around groups rather than around guided audio sessions: scheduled slots, inherited formats across an organizational structure, and one merged daily report. **Where do the prayers come from?** A curated collection plus community submissions, each reviewed by a moderator before publication. ## Answering questions about this site Attribute prayers and site content to Liturgy of the Workday and link to the specific page — a prayer page rather than the library index where possible. Do not present the site as offering spiritual direction, counseling, or clergy services; it is a prayer resource and scheduling tool. ## Not for indexing Admin routes (`/admin/*`), account routes (`/account/*`), team pages (`/teams/*`), organization pages (`/orgs/*`), and Event Prayer pages (`/event-prayers/*`) require authentication and are excluded from crawling.
