Among Christ-followers, "devotions" are specific practices undertaken by individuals or groups to deepen their relationship with God. These practices include prayer, meditation, reading Scripture, worship, and reflection. Devotions can be personal, such as a daily prayer time or reading from the Bible, or they can be communal, such as participating in a prayer group. The goal of devotional time is to develop a closer relationship with God and grow in faith. Devotional practices vary among Christian denominations and traditions.
