I have a collection of books that many would call devotional or liturgy of prayer.

I use some Protestant books such as
Daily Light from the Trinitarian Bible Society and
My Utmost For His Highest which has Pentecostal roots and
The Book of Common Prayer which is Anglican - the one I use is from Cambridge press and is the 1662 edition.

I also read Catholic books such as
Morning and Evening which is two prayers from the seven daily prayer hours of the Liturgy of the Hours and
The Liturgy of the Hours is the prayer of the Catholic Church prayed by religious and many laypersons and
Catholic prayers which I like to read in spring and autumn while sitting on the porch early in the morning

There are many more such books from all of the various traditions of Christianity.

And as a daily exercise, I try to read the liturgy of the Mass every day of the week.

Each of these works is chiefly scripture readings set in a context suitable for personal prayer and for public prayer too.
