Psalm 37:4-5 – Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in him and he will do this.

Delight yourself in the Lord

Rejoice in the Lord for everything he has given us.  Life, faithfulness, love, grace, ….  This list could go on and on. 

He will give you the desires of your heart

Do not confuse this with earthly desires, such as more wealth, a better career, etc.   When you truly delight in the Lord, your desires will be pleasing to God and he would be very happy to give them to you.

Commit your way to the Lord

Give all your burdens, fears, and anxieties to God.  These things can be too much for us to handle, but with God, we can handle anything.  His power is greater than ours, so lean on God, and let him remove these from our life.

Trust in him and he will do this

He promises to be by you in your pain and that you will not suffer.  The end result will be for the ultimate good of God, you, and God’s people.

In your pain, remember all the great things God has done for you.  Be joyful of those things and pray to God for a resolution that will be for the greater good.  He promises to be with you in the process. That’s what the Bible says.  Do you believe it?
