Heart's Desire And Counsel

Psalm 20:4

May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your counsel!

O my Father, may my heart's desire be what You want for me, because I know that whatever You want for me is so much better than anything I could want for myself.

And, Father, may my counsel be truely according to Your Word, that I may correctly discern what You are teaching me; to share with others accurately Your attitudes and thoughts toward them, to show them Your righteous ways. Then many others will come to know how right You are and how following Your ways will be to their benefit.

You desire to bless us, Father, as our Maker You love what You have made and want to do good to us all our days. When we follow Your instructions all our lives, then we will be thinking and acting in harmony with how You designed this world to work, and the result will be peace and harmony and great abundance. And You, Father God, will enjoy all the credit, all the glory, for planning it so.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
