This project is a web application designed to help individuals share prayer requests and receive beautifully crafted prayers from an AI-powered spiritual guide. The system generates both personal and community versions of each prayer, allowing users to choose which version to share publicly while maintaining access to both perspectives.

• Dual Prayer Generation:
  For every prayer request, the AI generates:
  • A personal prayer (first-person, for the requester)
  • A community prayer (third-person, for group prayer)
• User Choice:
  Users can select which version (personal or community) to display publicly.
• Empathetic, Inclusive Prayers:
  Prayers are generated using non-denominational, inclusive language, with references to scripture and a focus on comfort, hope, and spiritual growth.
• Prayer Request Submission:
  Users can submit requests, which are then transformed into prayers suitable for both personal reflection and community support.

1. Submit a Prayer Request:
   Users provide their name and a description of their prayer need.
2. AI Prayer Generation:
   The backend uses prompt templates (prayer_prompt.txt for community, personal_prayer_prompt.txt for personal) to instruct the AI to generate two versions of the prayer.
3. Store and Display:
   Both versions are saved in the database. By default, the community version is shown publicly, but the author can switch to the personal version.
4. Community Engagement:
   The community can view and pray for requests, using the version chosen by the author.

• main.py
  Core backend logic, including database models and API endpoints for prayer submission and version selection.
• ai_service.py
  Handles AI prompt construction and response parsing for both prayer versions.
• prayer_prompt.txt
  Prompt template for generating community prayers.
• personal_prayer_prompt.txt
  Prompt template for generating personal prayers.
• dual_prayer_generation_plan.md
  Development plan outlining the dual generation system and API changes.

See dual_prayer_generation_plan.md for a detailed breakdown of the implementation phases, including database schema updates, AI service enhancements, and API endpoint changes.

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies (see requirements in your Python environment)
3. Run the backend (typically with python main.py)
4. Submit prayer requests and experience dual prayer generation!
