ABOUT US
Prayer is a powerful force in the universe. It offers hope, comfort, gratitude, and love. LightUpTheWorld.org is a not-for-profit project paid for by One Planet which is led by spiritual entrepreneur Payam Zamani. The idea stems from his Baha’i beliefs that prayer, positive thinking, inspiration, and love can make a difference in someone’s life.
LightUpTheWorld.org is a public forum for people to join in world community prayer and share what they want — a religious prayer, a nondenominational reflection, a link to a piece of music, etc., — with the world. The prayer currently in the queue is being read in real-time by the person who offered it. No one is making money from this site — this is a purely humanitarian effort.
The purpose is simple: show love.

People around the world will participate in a never-ending prayer chain that will go on until the current collective suffering caused by the coronavirus, COVID-19 has ended. Visitors to the site will be able to see in real-time when someone says a prayer for the world
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
We, the inhabitants of Earth, collectively experience suffering and loss. When tragedies unfold, we can come together as one human race to pray and offer positive reflections around the clock in the form of a real-time prayer chain.
HOW IT WORKS
No matter where in the world you are, you can join in the prayer chain and pray for humanity. Select a time to offer a prayer, positive message, or a link to an inspirational video or music. Submissions that meet our community guidelines will be seen around the world. When you see a prayer highlighted in the timeline, that means it’s being said in real-time by the person who submitted it.
