Private worship, sometimes called devotions, is simply devoting some time to God each day. It is a time in which you are alone with God to read, meditate and possibly journal. Some people prefer to do their devotions first thing in the morning. Some take time during their lunch break, while others prefer devoting some time right before they go to bed. Some people sit in a quiet place, some sit outside, some even do it at a place like Starbuck’s. Some people even pace while they think and pray. A typical devotion consists of reading a short passage in the bible, reflecting on it and then offering a prayer to God.

If you have yet to make private worship part of your daily routine, this booklet is a great way to start. If private worship is already part of your daily routine, I know you will find the readings both inspirational and thought provoking.

May God bless you as you continue to follow Christ and spend time being present with God.
