About Daily Prayer and the Daily Devotional

Daily Devotional

If you want to follow God's will, read the Bible every day. Our moral lives and our salvation depend upon knowing God's word, and we cannot know it unless we read it.

Our short daily devotional always includes an important Bible verse, that you will enjoy reading and which will raise your spirits for the entire day. It is accessible anywhere you have access to the internet: Starbucks, an airport, or sitting at your desk at work. It is not only a wonderful way to start the day, but also keeps our memory refreshed about exactly what the Bible says. It is intended for the morning; however, if you prefer to access it in the evening, there is a link at the bottom of the page that will convert the prayers to reflect the time of day.

We often are asked about which denomination dailyprayer.us is affiliated with, or which Bible translation we use. The Daily Devotional takes prayers from all mainstream Christian denominations and uses a wide variety of Bible translations. It is our aim to emphasize the common beliefs of all persons who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and to set aside differences. Our aim is to make the contents of this page comfortable and non-controversial for people of all denominations.

There are two different formats. This one is called "Simpler Style", which is a simple format. It has no set width, but will fill your screen. The other one is a bit fancier and is called "Traditional". The content is identical. You can switch between them using the top button (the red one) in the left column navigation.

Short Daily Prayers Online

Christ told us, "Pray without ceasing." It is so important to say a prayer or two in the morning, to put God in our minds (and hearts) before we meet the challenges of the day. The online daily devotional is intended to help out, by including several short Christian prayers of general application, appropriate to the start of your day.

Christian Inspiration

In addition to online daily prayers and online daily Bible readings, the Morning Devotional can include a beautiful or inspiring quote, video (often a musical performance), poem, or picture. We can use all the inspiration we can get!

There is a separate page of online evening prayers. Finally, we try to maintain a list of short Daily Bible Readings online, together with any commentary, for reference.

Bible Quiz

We have recently implemented a Bible Quiz (actually, there are a few questions on more general Christian subjects, so be on your toes!). There is a Daily Quiz that changes every day, and usually has at least a few questions relating to the day's Christian devotional. If you have registered, you can keep track of your scores. Although you can only take each Daily Quiz once, you can take a random Bible quiz as often as you want, and can choose between "easy", "medium" and "hard" difficulty. But beware, the hard questions are really hard!

Daily Devotional Blog

The Daily Devotional Blog features a wide range of topics, including news of interest to Christians, articles about Christian belief, the state of Christianity in various countries, etc.

Other Features

There are a number of features accessible from the left navigation. We have an online Bible in four versions and are gradually adding new versions and upgrades. There is a three-month calendar that will lead you to the devotionals for other days. There is a list of all lessons, identified by the Bible verse. There are maps of Israel that we occasionally refer to. There is a section that contains a number of prayers for different occasion, and a collection of blessings to say before meals.
