While creating services, you may want to add or customize prayers in Christian Worship: Service Builder.

The My Prayers view starts with the three-part view:

The left side is a list of all available items where categories can be added to the list to better organize it.

The center part of the view shows a text field where the content of the element can be created and formatted. Above the format bar are tabs for different types of content that can make up the element.

Content types include these:

• Text—This is for elements that consist of text only, like prayers and blessings.
• Text with Stanzas—This allows you to number and add text for stanzas. You can also select which stanzas will be used when you plan the service.
• Melody—This allows you to add text and then insert a melody line that will always be visible.
• Melody with Stanzas—This allows you to add an engraving of a song, which can show both the verses and the melody line. This is most useful for adding hymns.
• Setting with Stanzas—Setting with Stanzas should be used if you want to add the entire sheet of music for a song.

Prayers can be added by clicking “Add” in the bottom left corner and selecting "Add a prayer".

The right part of the screen contains details such as the prayer's name and related topics or scripture passages.
