Psalm 37

"Delight yourself in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass." ~Psalm 37:4-5

Lord, this is my prayer. I want to delight myself in You. I want to commit my way to You, to trust in You with all my heart. I want Your ways to be the first and last thing on my mind. I want all I do to effuse the sweet aroma of Christ.
I want the desires of my heart to be the same as the desires of Yours. I want those to be the ones You grant.
I want Hannah's daises to die. I want mine to die, too. I want to be ready in season and out of season. I want to constantly give a reason for the hope that I have. I want to grow. I want to learn. I want to soak You in, to have You pour into me, to pour it all out. I want open doors. I want wise words. I want spirit-filled opportunities.
I want healed and blossoming relationships. I want my mouth to speak cleanliness and purity. I want disbelief and frustration out of my heart. I want to know the line between being in the world and being of it. I want to be an example. I want to be a light. I want to be a broken human being that can do nothing without You. I want to live like the redeemed saint You have made me, not just a forgiven sinner.
I want the joy and power of Your salvation.
I want so many things, so many miracles, big and small, so many healings in my sinful heart. But most of all, oh Lord my God, I want You. Set my eyes upon You, oh Lord, and direct my path, for Your glory is all I can wish for.
