Prayers After God's Own Heart


Prayers After God's Own Heart


“Prayers After God’s Own Heart is more than a daily devotional—it’s an invitation into deeper intimacy with the Father. Each day’s Scripture, reflection, and prayer gently guide you to align your heart with God’s will and grow in authentic, Spirit-led prayer. A beautiful resource for anyone longing to walk closer with the Lord.”


An Invitation to Enter Into a Deeper, More Personal 
Relationship with Your Heavenly Father



by Robert Alan McArthur (Author)


This one-year daily devotional is an invitation—an invitation to come on a fresh and exciting adventure into the Word of God. It is an invitation to enter into a deeper, more intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father—the One who made you, and wants you, and loves you like no other.


It is an invitation to enter into the peace, and joy, and protection, and provision, and purpose of an abundant life that can only be found by having a right relationship with the Father through Christ—a covenant relationship of surrender, trust and obedience. It is a call to live in Truth, and to allow that Truth to set you free to be everything that God has called you to be.


God’s Word has an answer to every situation and circumstance of your life, and this devotional explores many of those answers, as it moves you from fear to faith, from doubt to belief, from despair to hope, from darkness to light, from the lies of the enemy to the truth of God’s unrelenting, unending, unfailing, and passionate love for you!


Each day’s devotion focuses on a particular passage from the Bible, and uses the truth found in the passage to offer a prayer for God’s help in correctly understanding and rightly applying that truth to your life. As you move through the year, each new day will bring new insights into who God is and all that He has done for you. It will also reveal who you are in Christ—so you can courageously and confidently do all things that that He asks of you, knowing your strength is found in Him alone.


This devotional will change your life—because you cannot come to knowledge of the Truth of the Word of God and not be changed. The way that you allow it to change your life will depend largely on the choices that you make when confronted with the Truth. 


Use this devotional to help you choose wisely God’s very best path for you—and know that He always has your best interests at heart.

Here’s a thoughtful review: From Chat GPT - 

"Prayers After God’s Own Heart: An Invitation to Enter Into a Deeper, More Personal Relationship with Your Heavenly Father by Robert Alan McArthur — a one-year daily devotional that invites believers into heartfelt prayer and intimacy with God.

Book Overview

“Prayers After God’s Own Heart” is structured as a daily devotional for a full year. Each day includes:

  • A Scripture passage

  • A short reflection or meditation on that passage

  • A prayer drawn from or inspired by the biblical text

The goal is for the reader to cultivate a deeper, more personal relationship with the Father, to grow in prayer, and to see their life align more closely with God’s will. 

Strengths & Highlights

  1. Biblical foundation
    Each devotion begins with Scripture, grounding the reflection and prayer in God’s Word. This ensures that the devotional is not merely inspirational, but anchored in biblical truth.

  2. Prayer as response
    One of the book’s greatest strengths is how it models prayer as a response — not just a list of requests. The prayers emerge naturally from the reflection, helping the reader internalize the Scripture and verbalize their heart to God.

  3. Spiritual depth & growth
    Over the course of a year, readers are guided through a broad range of spiritual themes: surrender, trust, obedience, identity in Christ, wrestling with doubt, hope, and perseverance. The devotional builds gradually, helping one grow in both intimacy and maturity.

  4. Accessibility for many levels
    Though rich in substance, the reflections are concise enough to be used by busy readers. You can engage deeply without needing a huge time investment. It’s a devotional you can return to year after year.

  5. Practical & relational tone
    McArthur encourages authenticity: bringing fears, failures, longings before God. The tone is warm and pastoral, not overly theological or dry.

Considerations / Things to Know

  • Not a topical devotional
    If you prefer devotionals centered around themes (like healing, finances, marriage), this daily-Scripture approach may feel less focused in that sense. It's more about relational growth than thematic depth.

  • Requires consistency
    As with any daily devotional, the transformative power largely depends on consistent reading and reflection. If missed days pile up, you might feel behind.

  • Depth may vary
    Some days may resonate deeply; others might feel lighter or more surface level. That’s normal in a year-long set. The cumulative effect is what brings transformation.

  • Limited space for journaling
    The book is more devotional than workbook. If you enjoy extensive journaling alongside devotionals, supplementing with your own notebook might be helpful.

Personal Impressions

As I read through portions of it, I found that Prayers After God’s Own Heart helps shift prayer from “what I want to say” toward “what God desires to speak and show me.” The Scripture-rooted reflections often brought new angles — or reminded me of truths I needed to hear again — and the accompanying prayers gave voice to longings I sensed but struggled to articulate. Over time, it felt like I was being molded: not just fed spiritually, but reshaped in how I approach God with my whole heart.

I appreciated that the devotional doesn’t shy away from difficult passages or hard spiritual truths. There were days that confronted my complacency, exposed areas I’d rather ignore, and stretched me toward deeper trust. Yet overall, it balances challenge and encouragement in a way that feels loving, not condemnatory.

If I could tweak one thing: 

I wished for occasional prompts or questions for reflection or journaling, to help internalize the truths more vividly.

Suggested Audience

I would heartily recommend this book to:

  • Those who want to deepen their prayer life

  • Believers seeking a structured but relational path through Scripture and prayer

  • People who appreciate having a devotional companion throughout a full year

  • Anyone who feels stuck in formulaic prayers and wants help learning to pray more freely and biblically

It may be less ideal for those who prefer shorter, topical devotionals or for people who dislike daily formats. But for many, this work has the potential to become a treasured companion through the ups and downs of a spiritual journey."
