Desires of Our Hearts

The moment that we lead ourselves to believe that there is some amount of control in our lives, God loves to remind us that He is in control. He leads us onto some unknown path where we have to struggle in faith, believing that He has the best in mind for us. We look back and wonder if we have done anything wrong to get us into the position we find ourselves in now. But yet, in asking God whether our desires align with His, we are comforted that He is in control, and as long as we are following Him, it is the best for us.

I am finding more and more that knowing the desires of His heart and separating it from our own desires is very tricky, especially if they seem to align at first glance. But He promises us that if we delight ourselves in Him, we will have the desires of our heart. So God, may my desires be your desires as I enter this new chapter in my life.

3Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

6He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Psalm 37:3-6
