devotion

/dɪˈvəʊʃən/

Devotion is typically used as an uncountable noun, meaning you do not usually say "devotions" when talking about loyalty or love. When using this word to describe loyalty, it is almost always followed by the preposition "to" (e.g., devotion to a cause). In a religious context, the word can sometimes be used in the plural form ("daily devotions") to refer to specific prayers or religious readings.
