The Methodist Book of Daily Prayer
Daily prayer the Wesleyan way.
Prayer is a spiritual practice, and daily prayer uses the repetition of forms and words to cultivate a deep, meaningful ritual, drawing the individual into an ever-closer relationship with God. This book is organized by liturgical season, but is undated, so the individual is free to begin using it at any point during the year. The book is concise and easy to use and includes the words of scripture and other necessary text. It is a simple, frictionless tool for spiritual health.
The Methodist Book of Daily Prayer provides complete texts for Morning Prayers and Evening Prayers, with a new set of texts for each week of the year. Each week is anchored in its liturgical Advent, Christmastide, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Eastertide, Pentecost, Sow & Rest (Ordinary Time), and Harvest & Create (Ordinary Time).
Each set of prayers centers on a scripture passage, with an emphasis on the Psalms. The prayers draw from familiar historic, classic, and ancient Christian texts, and from Methodism’s rich hymnody. They also feature fresh, original words from new writers. This book facilitates deep daily connection with God--a method for spiritual sustenance.

What a way to pray...
I was referred to this book by my pastor and I managed to see a YouTube video interview with the author, Pastor Matt Miofsky. If you're looking for a great way to introduce daily prayer into your life, or if you already have a prayer routine, but you feel the need to add a different perspective, this book is a great option. The prayers follow the Methodist liturgical calendar which helps anchor your daily prayer routine to what you're likely hearing in your weekly sermons. They're brief, but impactful. They include Scripture, a reflection that connects the Word to our contemporary circumstances followed by a thoughtful contribution (e.g., poem, book excerpt, etc.) from another source. The book only covers five days of the week, but it is broken into both morning and evening prayers. Each prayer might take about 2-3 minutes of your time, but it's such a great way to begin and end one's day.

A simple daily devotional/reading for morning and evening, from a Wesleyan perspective. (But accessible to anyone wishing to adopt a daily spiritual practice).
