May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. Psalm 20:4 NIV
When I was about 12 years old, I remember praying that I would one day be a great father. It was really a short, simple request, but I said it to the Lord with great sincerity. Today, I am a proud father of two boys. While parenting does have its challenges, I am proud of the way God has gifted me with the ability to parent. Fathering has been one of life's greatest joys.
Why am I enjoying some success as a father? (Recognizing that I am certainly not through!) I believe it is because the desire of my heart was directly in line with the will of God. I wanted to be a great father, and God's will is that men will accept the responsibility of raising their families in a Godly home.
What are your desires? What in your life are you trying to obtain? Let me ask you, do they match with the will of God? Can God be glorified if He grants you your request? Your plans will automatically be successful when the things you want from life are identical to what God wants for you.
Line up your desires with the desires of God and you will see all your plans succeed!

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
