Psalms 37:4

Psalms 37:4. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

When all thine heart’s desires are fixed upon him because he is thine heart’s delight, then thou mayest give a loose rein to those desires without any fear that they will run away. When thine heart’s desires are of this sort, thou shalt have them, be they what they may. It is not every man who shall have the desires of his heart given to him, but only that man whose heart’s delight is in his God. There is much in connection with the person praying which will help to decide whether he shall or shall not have his desires granted. What is the condition of the heart out of which the desires come? When the heart is full of delight in the Lord, its desires shall be pleasing in his sight, and shall be granted.
