Father, Your Word says that when I delight in You, You give me the desires of my heart. Help me see that delighting in You is not pretending to be happy. It is sitting with You and truly liking it. When I do that, my wants start to line up with Yours. So let me delight in You today. Grow the right desires inside me. Do not just hand them over. Grow them in me. Amen.
