Brilliant Daily Devotionals For Men

There’s something in the Bible for everyone: a resonant story, an inspiring psalm or a defiant parable. A daily men’s prayer session can take Bible passages and bring it to men in a way that specifically connects with them.

Shorter than a full Bible study and written to provoke or inspire you, prayer sessions have become a mandatory discipline for Christians around the world.

The great thing about prayers is how easy they are to add to your daily routine. They are short and easy to read or listen to. Taking just a few minutes a day to connect with God can transform your physical and mental health.

Find a place of daily dedication for men

Daily devotions take many different forms. You can read once a day in a book that has been put together to provide a year’s worth of daily prayers. Or you can download an app with lots of devotional content to choose from or curate an audiobook.

Book

If you want to keep your quiet time free from technology and the possibility of being interrupted by notifications, a daily devotional book is a great choice.

What’s different about daily devotions for men?

A daily devotional written specifically for men can focus on specific issues and themes facing men.

Many themes in the Bible are universal. Challenges to being a Christian and living a life of faith are also common. However, there is a unique calling to men and a specific reel they play in the Kingdom of God.

There are also challenging parts of modern life that may affect men more than women.

All of this can hopefully be unpacked in a daily prayer for men.

Being a godly man

In his best-selling book, ‘Disciplines of a Godly Man’, author R. Kent Hughes says: “Our devotion must culminate in the conscious submission of every part of our personality, every ambition, every relationship, and every hope to Him. This done, we have reached the pinnacle of personal dedication.”

In this quote, Hughes brilliantly surmised part of the key to living life as a godly person. He describes it as a ‘conscious productivity’. Our surrender, or submission, to God is the beginning and end of our becoming more like Him.

Participating in daily devotions for men can propel you on your journey to becoming a godly man. Not only will it serve as a daily reminder to connect with God, it will inspire you to give all you have to Him.

Train yourself to be godly. For physical training has some value, but godliness is worth it in every way, keeping promises for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

You can think of doing a daily prayer meeting like training. Just like anything important in life, you are committed to preparation and practice; Cultivating your faith is no different. That’s why Glorify users love how the app tracks their Daily Worship – it helps them on their fitness journey.

I Completed My Daily Devotion – What Now?

Daily prayer for a week, a month, or even a year will lay a brilliant foundation for your faith. Not only does it build a healthy habit of spending time with God every day, but it also encourages your personal transformation to become a godly person.

If daily prayer has sparked your desire to study the scriptures, or served as a catalyst for your closeness to the Lord, what will you do next?

Digging deeper into the Bible is a great next step. You could try another devotional that includes biblical references. Or, you can try to read a book of the Bible.

If you enjoy hearing your devotions, you can try listening to a longer story on Glorify. Why not make it part of your daily discipline to fall asleep with a sleep story, a Bible story retold in the air, every night?
