The Upper Room Disciplines 2009: A Book of Daily Devotions

Inside yourself, you know you shouldn't be running all the time.

It takes time and solitude, a sense of quiet, to know God. But who has those?!

"God meets us in the everyday tumble of our lives," Helen R. Neinast writes in the Foreword of The Upper Room Disciplines 2009. "For those times when we must be on the run, God keeps pace with us. Whether our prayer time is spent in silken quiet or amid ragged noise, . . . God finds us wherever we are."

Discover God's hope and purpose for your life and allow God's Word to speak to you through the powerful daily meditations in the 50th anniversary edition of Disciplines. If you need support establishing a daily practice of Bible study and prayer, you'll find valuable and gentle help in this annual bestseller.

Think of Disciplines as a full-year's worth of The Upper Room daily devotional guide, only with meditations addressing weekly (Monday through Sunday) themes. Each of the 53 writers offers a variety of perspectives on daily Bible readings selected from the Revised Common Lectionary, which will help you reconnect with God.

Each scriptural- and real-life based meditation includes suggestions for prayer and further reflection that will help you be more open to God's love and guidance. Also included is an outline explaining how to use The Upper Room Disciplines in small groups.

The Upper Room Disciplines 2009 Discussion Guide lists each week's lections, gives a brief background on the passages and then draws from the writings three or four thoughtful questions to foster group discussion. A closing prayeris also provided.

I read these daily devotionals for many years and found them a good way to ground myself and start my day.
