daily devotionals
Regular spiritual readings
Daily devotionals are short religious readings or meditations intended for regular spiritual practice, typically done each morning.
They usually combine a scripture passage with brief commentary and reflection questions or prayers.
Publishers produce them as books, apps, or email subscriptions organized by calendar date: She reads her daily devotional with coffee before work.
The practice spans Christian traditions especially.
