guided prayer

Directed spiritual recitation

Guided prayer is a form of prayer led by another person, often a religious leader or meditation facilitator, who provides words, prompts, or structure for participants to follow.

The guide may speak aloud while others pray silently or repeat phrases: The retreat began with a guided prayer for healing.

Common in group worship, spiritual retreats, and devotional apps.
