d365 is a daily devotion written for youth and adults. The devotion follows a five-step format – Pause, Listen, Think, Pray, Go.
-
The Pause step remains the same all week and is designed as a centering tool as you begin the devotion.
-
The Listen step is the scripture passage for the day, using the Common English Bible translation.
-
The Think step is the devotional thought by the week’s writer.
-
The Pray step is the start of a prayer that you can expand into your own conversation with God.
-
The Go step is a call to action – launching you from this moment toward acting on what you have heard.

Bedtime Chapel is a family prayer community:
James and Natalie Thomas, parents to two young children under the age of three and deacons in the Episcopal church. As working parents, we know how hard it is to end the day with energy for prayer. But we also understand how transformative a prayer practice can be for a family.
That’s why we created Bedtime Chapel:
-
A nightly 5-minute prayer service with a short Bible reading.
-
Weekly reflections to explore scripture through the lens of family life.
