Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also 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 37:3–5 NKJV
Some of us never pursue our deepest desires out of fear of what people will think or fear of failure. But such fears can keep us from living the life we long for. So how do we slay the dream killers? We lean on God and become confident in Him. We do things His way. It is then we find ourselves dwelling in His territory and being fed on His promises. Such faithfulness sustains us in a way worldly fears cannot. And when we take joy in God’s presence, allowing Him to be our guide and giving all our secret plans and dreams over to Him, He will give us the desires of our hearts. So put all your faith in God, the dream maker. Bring your desires before Him. Listen for every whisper, every leading He sends your way. Then simply trust as you commit your way to Him, not forcing the issue but confident that in His will, His way, His timing, He’ll bring all your dreams into being.
Lord, I sometimes hesitate to tell You what my soul really craves. But I know that You alone can satisfy my longings, can make my dreams come true. So, as I delight in You, lead me in the way You would have me go. I am putting all my hope in You. Amen.
