A Prayer to Be Someone after God’s Own Heart | Your Daily Prayer
When we hear the phrase “a person after God’s own heart,” it can sound like something reserved for spiritual giants—people who never struggle, never fail, and never fall into sin. But Scripture tells a different story.

A heart after God’s own heart doesn’t require perfection—it requires repentance. David’s story shows that God can use imperfect people who still seek Him. God honors a sincere desire for holiness, obedience, and devotion. Mistakes do not disqualify you from being loved by God or pursuing Him fully. Obedience is a sign of love, and returning to God is always possible.
