HEART'S DESIRE

PROMISES OF THE BIBLE


Don’t worry about the wicked
    or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
    Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
 Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

Take delight in the Lord,

    and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
    and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
    or fret about their wicked schemes.
 Stop being angry!
    Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
    it only leads to harm.

For the wicked will be destroyed,

    but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.  
Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.
The lowly will possess the land
    and will live in peace and prosperity
Psalm 37:1-11  NLT  (New Living Translation)
