Balancing Your Desires with God’s Will
Scripture
Psalm 37:4 (NIV) – “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
Reflection
There’s nothing wrong with having dreams.
But the difference between divine dreams and selfish ambition lies in your delight.
When you delight in Him first, your desires shift.
They become purified. Refined. Holy.
God isn’t trying to kill your desire—He wants to align it.
Reflect + Journal
- Are there any personal desires you’ve been chasing more than God’s presence?
- What would it look like to surrender those desires without fear?
Sacred Step
Reflect on a recent decision and evaluate your motive.
Then pray for God to align your heart with His.
Then pray for God to align your heart with His.
Prayer
Lord, align my heart with Yours.
Let my desires flow from my delight in You.
Make me bold enough to surrender anything that’s out of sync with Your will. Amen.
Let my desires flow from my delight in You.
Make me bold enough to surrender anything that’s out of sync with Your will. Amen.
