The end in sight...

THREE: Our Own Hearts

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
[[Psalm 37:4, NIV]]

"Be soft and pliable to the most high covenant God and He will answer your petitions for wisdom and understanding."
[[Psalm 37:4, mine]]

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks find; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!"
[[Matthew 7:7-11, NIV]]

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
[[Philippians 4:6-7, Amplified]]
