personal devotion
Intimate spiritual commitment
Personal devotion is deep, individualized commitment to something or someone—a cause, a practice, a person, or a deity.
The phrase emphasizes that the devotion belongs to the individual rather than being institutional or collective: Her personal devotion to the Virgin Mary shaped her daily prayers.
It often implies private spiritual practice distinct from organized religion, or loyalty that goes beyond professional obligation: His personal devotion to the senator lasted decades after leaving her staff.
