daily prayers

Regular spiritual practice

Daily prayers are religious devotions performed on a regular schedule, typically morning and evening or at set times throughout the day.

Many faith traditions prescribe them: Muslims pray five times daily, Jews recite prayers three times, Christians may follow liturgical hours.

The phrase can refer to the practice itself or to the specific texts recited: She never missed her daily prayers.

In secular use, it sometimes describes any ritualized routine undertaken with devotion.
