Delight yourself also in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
So in my devotional time I keep being drawn back to Psalm 37 and here is something I found that someone else wrote about this scripture.
"Your relationship with God ought to bring you more joy, satisfaction and pleasure than any other relationship, activity or material possession you have. Scripture exhorts you to delight yourself in the Lord, finding your great pleasure in God an the things dear to His heart. How can you find please in what God enjoys? Only as you spend time with Him will you begin to take delight in the things God loves. As you spend intimate time with God and allow Him to show you your situation from His perspective, you will begin to see things as God sees them. As you adjust yourself to God, your heart will begin to desire the same things God's heart desires. When you pray, you will find yourself asking for the very things God desires. Matters foremost on God's heart will be preeminent on yours. Your first request in prayer will not be for yourself, but for God's name to be exalted and His kingdom to be extended."
I just thought that was very good and it has opened new ways for me, on how to pray and how to seek after the heart of God. I just want to be a woman after God's own heart and to love Him and enjoy spending time in his presence.
Blessings~
