Our Scripture Sources
Every verse in Prayer SP comes from the Bible. Here's how we ensure accuracy.
Curated Verse Database
Scripture verses are stored in our database—not generated by AI. This prevents hallucinated or misquoted verses.
Multiple Translations
We support ESV, NIV, KJV, NKJV, NLT, and NASB. You can choose your preferred translation in settings.
Topic Mapping
Each prayer topic (healing, provision, guidance, etc.) is linked to specific Scripture passages that address that need.
Visible Citations
Every prayer shows which verses it's based on—so you can verify and meditate on God's Word directly.
How We Use AI—And What It Cannot Do
We believe trust is built through transparency. Here is exactly how artificial intelligence fits into Prayer SP—and where it stops.
AI Generates Text, Not Truth
Large language models produce prayers by following patterns learned from text. They do not understand your situation, hear from God, or possess spiritual discernment. The Scripture citations come from our curated database—the AI shapes the prayer language around them.
Citations Are Human-Curated
Every Bible verse reference in a generated prayer is pulled from our database of real, verified Scripture—never fabricated by the model. The AI is prompted with these verses and weaves them into the prayer structure.
You Can Always Verify
We show the exact chapter-and-verse references for every prayer. Open your Bible, check the citation, and confirm it for yourself. We want you in the Word—not just reading our output.
Starting Point, Not Final Word
A generated prayer is a draft. Your heart, your words, your relationship with God—that's what matters. Use our output as a launching pad, not a substitute for genuine communion with the Father.
Technical Detail
Prayer SP uses large language models (LLMs) to generate prayer text. When you select a topic and provide context, our system:
- Searches a curated database of Bible verses matching your topic
- Retrieves the exact Scripture text in your chosen translation
- Sends a structured prompt to the LLM containing your topic, context, and the retrieved verses
- The LLM generates prayer language that incorporates those real Scripture references
The critical distinction: Scripture citations are retrieved from our database, not generated by AI. The AI shapes the prayer language; it does not invent Bible verses. This architecture prevents hallucinated or misquoted Scripture.
AI as Your Seminary Intern, Not Your Pastor
We believe AI should handle the administrative so humans can handle the hearts. Prayer SP is AI-enhanced, not AI-dependent.
AI Handles the Boring Stuff
Formatting prayers, finding relevant Scripture passages, organizing your prayer history, tracking your spiritual growth patterns. These are administrative tasks that AI handles well -- freeing you to focus on the sacred: your actual conversation with God.
Humans Handle the Sacred Stuff
Discernment, pastoral counsel, theological interpretation, spiritual direction -- these require a human heart, not an algorithm. When Prayer SP detects you may need human support, it connects you with real pastoral resources. We will never claim AI can replace your pastor, your small group, or the Holy Spirit.
Scripture-Guided, Not AI-Generated
The most important distinction: our prayers are guided by real Scripture from a curated database. The AI shapes language around verified Bible verses -- it does not generate theology. Every prayer you receive can be verified against the Word of God. If our system cannot ground a response in Scripture, it returns a pre-composed prayer rather than generating unsupported content.
Who Holds Us Accountable?
We are building a theological advisory board of credentialed scholars and pastors who review our AI guardrails, Scripture sourcing, and doctrinal standards on a quarterly basis.
