Policies
Quiet and straightforward.
Daily Abide is a non-commercial ministry offering. What follows is a plain account of how the site works and how anything you choose to share is cared for.
Terms of Use
Daily Abide is offered freely for personal spiritual reading and encouragement. There is no account to create, nothing to purchase, and no obligation of any kind.
You may, if you wish, share your email to receive a quiet daily reminder, or submit a prayer request. Both are voluntary, and you may unsubscribe or step away at any time.
The site is provided as-is, without warranties. Please treat the writing with the same care you would any thoughtful devotional — read it, quote from it generously, and refrain from reproducing whole devotionals as your own.
Privacy
Our approach is simple: collect as little as possible, hold it with care, and never sell or share it.
If you subscribe to the quiet daily reminder, we store your email solely to send those daily messages and the occasional transactional note (such as a welcome or unsubscribe confirmation). We do not send promotional or marketing emails. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.
We rely on a small number of trusted providers to operate the site — for example, Resend for delivering email. These providers process information only as needed to carry out the service.
Your email address is never sold, traded, or shared for marketing purposes.
Prayer Requests
You may share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing. Your request will be treated with care and kept private — not posted, not published, not shared.
Submissions are used only for prayer and, where helpful, a brief private response. Daily Abide is a quiet devotional offering, not a counseling service, crisis line, or pastoral care provider. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, please reach out to a trusted local pastor, counselor, or emergency service.
Quiet Daily Reminders
The daily reminder is a brief, Scripture-centered email — a verse, a short reflection, and a prayer. Nothing more.
There are no promotions and no upsells. You may unsubscribe quietly at any time using the link in any email.
Analytics
We use minimal, privacy-conscious analytics (currently Google Analytics) to understand general usage and to monitor performance and stability. We do not run ad retargeting, marketing pixels, or aggressive behavioral tracking.
The intent is to keep the site stable and readable — not to profile the people who visit it.
Scripture & Copyright
Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Use of the ESV API is in accordance with Crossway's terms of service.
Devotional reflections and prayers are original to Daily Abide.
On the Use of AI
Daily reflections are thoughtfully drafted with the assistance of AI and reviewed against theological and editorial guardrails to maintain integrity and consistency. Human oversight remains in the loop.
AI may also assist in lightweight categorization or drafting of responses to prayer requests, always under human review.
We name this plainly because honesty matters more than appearances.
Ministry Posture
Daily Abide is non-commercial. The goal is not content production, engagement metrics, or growth for its own sake.
It exists to help weary people return to Christ — quietly, gently, and without pressure. Nothing more, nothing less.
