Ann created this site to share the power of prayer with Christians around the world! She’s published hundreds of prayers on Grace and Prayers, published a book of prayers, and started a faith-focused clothing line.
When she’s not writing, you can find her spending time with her husband, two sons, and her cat.
Ann McNeals created Grace and Prayers in 2022 with a simple mission: help people connect with God through prayer.
But her path to Jesus wasn’t a straight line, as is the case for many Christians.
Ann wasn’t raised Christian and struggled with substance abuse throughout her teens and 20s. Through a friend, she found a connection to prayer and that was the first time she truly understood His presence.
She then decided to make Christ her passion, her love and her career. Ann pursued a BA and eventually a Master’s in Theology at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colorado which is near her hometown of Silverton.
Ann has leveraged her personal experience with God and her education to create prayers that everyone can read and engage with.
She’s also published a successful book of prayers and created a clothing line of prayer-focused clothing to help others connect with our God.

Peer pressure is something we all face at one point or another. It can show up in a classroom, a workplace, a friend group, or even online. Sometimes it’s loud and obvious—other times, it’s quiet and subtle. But the pull to go along with the crowd, even when it doesn’t feel right, can be incredibly
Loneliness can quietly settle into our lives in ways we don’t always expect. It may come after the loss of a loved one, during a move to a new place, while recovering from illness, or in the middle of a room full of people. Isolation can make us feel invisible, unwanted, or disconnected—even from God.
In a world where acts of violence and terror can strike without warning, it’s more important than ever to turn to God in prayer. Whether we are facing national threats, local dangers, or even unsettling news reports, our hearts naturally seek safety—for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. Terrorism brings fear, pain, and destruction.
Are you considering a move to another country or relocating for a fresh opportunity?
