"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
Most people pray through verses like this as a means to justify their own selfish desires. They ask for something in His name (even good, Godly things), and then wonder why God doesn't seem to be delivering. He promised, right?
What most people forget is that when you delight yourself in the Lord, your desires change. You may not get what you originally ask for, but if you look real close, God does give us the desires of our hearts.
What if instead of praying for the things we so desperately want, we pray to delight in the Lord? What if instead of getting angry at God when our prayers seem to go unanswered, we pray for him to change our desires?
I fail to do this so often because my feelings seem too real. They're just how I feel, God can't change that. But my God is big. And He can change anything.
