The elements of a devotional typically include reading from Scripture, prayer and reflection, and spending time in silence. It's important to keep our hearts open during this time, so that we can focus on God's presence and spend time connecting with Him. Many people find it helpful to set aside a specific amount of time each day for their devotional practice, as this helps to establish a routine and make it easier to stick with. Additionally, some people find it helpful to use guided meditations or visualization techniques in order to help them focus on their devotional practice.
