# Get Shared Prayer

`GET /api/shared-prayers/{prayer_id}`

Fetch a shared prayer by id.

Any signed-in user may read one — the recipient is a different person from
the sender, and often brand new, but the app assigns them an anonymous
account on first open so a session always exists. Knowing the id is what
grants access, the same as any share link.

## Path parameters

- `prayer_id` string, required

- `x-user-id` string, nullable
