Daily Bible Reading Online
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 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.
There are two different formats; this one is called "Traditional"; the other one ("Simple") is not quite as fancy and is wider, for people with wide monitors. 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.
Other Features
There are a number of features accessible from the left navigation. 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.

We would really appreciate your comments, including specific problem spots. You can also send us a private message; just click the Contact Daily Prayer link on any page.
You can register as a Daily Prayer member for free. This will allow you to post and edit comments on the prayers, Bible verse, and any other feature of the site. We plan to add feature gradually that members of Daily Prayer will enjoy.
You can make the type size smaller or larger by clicking the appropriate button in the left-hand column. A cookie will remember your preference, so that you don't have to change it every day. You can also use your browser to make type larger or smaller - click "View" in the top menu and then click "Zoom"; although the effect is not completely predictable, this will usually work, making type larger or smaller on most web pages.
Daily Prayer Online is free and non-profit, but we have expenses to pay, so please don't be offended by any advertising. I promise, we aren't making any money off this.
We now have a group on Facebook!
I'd like to recommend BibleStudy.org for anyone who wants a good additional resource for reading and understanding the Bible.
A Milestone for Daily Prayer!
As of April 23, 2010, dailyprayer.us has reached the milestone of 10,000 hits per month! Since we have almost no budget and cannot afford a lot of advertising or "Search Engine Optimization", the growth is mostly word-of-mouth or from search engines. The site is a lot of work, and it makes me really happy to know that there are people who use it.
Also, dailyprayer.us has made it to the first page of Google, Bing, and Ask.com under the search terms "daily prayer" and/or "daily prayers". I just pray that my work honors God and that my happiness is devoid of any pride.

If it is late in the day and you would rather read prayers appropriate to the evening, there is a longer set of evening prayers here, or you can replace the prayers above with an evening devotional:
