GOD AND THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS
Psalm 37 VS 1-7:
1:Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong;
2:for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
3:Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4:Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5:Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:
6:He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
7:Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Have you ever asked God to grant your heart desire and it seems as if He wouldn’t answer? Does that mean that our heavenly Father has forsaken or forgotten us? The answer is NO. The good news is that God does not forget whatever you ask Him according to His will.
There are many reasons to this and today I am going to talk about them in this write up

1. God's timing may not be your timing
Our heavenly Father know what is best for us, He knows the appropriate time to give what we desire to us.
He guides each step we take because He loves us. We should learn to wait patiently on the Lord because His timing is the best. He is a very present help in times of need (Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble).

He will never forsake us but sometimes He wants us to wait on him because what He WANTS TO DO FOR US IS GREATER THAN WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR and he wants to be sure we are mature enough to handle the greater things he has planned to give to us.
off course while waiting we may be worried  but at the end we will realise that it pays to wait on the Lord, and it pays to serve Him.
1 Corinthians 2 VS 9:
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen,  what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him.

2. Not all that glitters is Gold
Sometimes we as Human desire some things and we really want to have them, but as Human we can't see all the implications and complications attached to what we so much desire. Our heavenly father; JEHOVAH  is all knowing, he knows the end even from the beginning and He will only give us what is good for us because He is a good God
Romans 8 VS 28 :
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

3. The habit of just asking
The Bible says in Psalm 22 VS 3: But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise. We should learn to praise and thank God in every Situation we found ourselves because even before we were formed in our mother's womb he knows us and cares for us: (Jeremiah 1 VS 5:  “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”).  

Praise - Is the voice of faith,  Praise - Is the language of heaven,  Praise - Sets the stage for God to move.

4. Do we pray in the right way
In the book of Luke 11:1-13 the lord Jesus teach us how to pray. The Lord’s Prayer is not a prayer we are to memorize and recite to God. It is an example of the things that should go into a prayer—worship, trust in God, requests, confession, and submission. We are to pray for the things the Lord’s Prayer talks about, using our own words and “customizing” it to our own journey with God. The proper way to pray is to express our hearts to God.

5. What is our Intention
The Intentions of our Hearts matter most. If we deceive ourselves and others, we can never deceive God because he knows every intentions of our Hearts. Let us be honest and open with God, He knows us better than we know ourselves. God is more interested in the content of our hearts than the eloquence of our words. Let us always submit our Will to God, because he loves us and has good plans for us.
Jeremiah 29 VS 11: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

May the good LORD be with us in this month of March and forever.
