Today's reflection by Donna Schaper: Holy Spirit, You are beyond our understanding. Come be our Host and help us learn how to be grateful guests.


Today's reflection by Lillian Daniel: On this day I do not pray to be perfect, but I pray to be forgiven. And remind me, Holy Spirit, that people are indeed watching what I do and say.

Other Bible Prayer Resources

The Bible could be one of your best resources for daily prayer. The Bible is full of stories about men and women who in some ways may have been on a spiritual quest like yours. These stories can be explored through reading, study, and quiet meditation. We invite you to subscribe to our free email Stillspeaking Devotional. Every morning, we'll send you a Bible text and meditation. It's free! And we invite you to our resource on "Reading With the Bible"—how the Bible can become an aid to daily prayer.

I Don't Like This Reading!

Unhappy FaceSometimes, you might encounter a Bible text that leaves you cold, or even makes you angry. That's okay! The Bible evolved through time, and although we believe God speaks through scripture, each reading will also bear the imprint of the culture in which it was written. If you have a question about or a problem with any reading you find here, share it with us in our "Opening the Bible" forum.
