_He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them_;–PS. cxlv. 19.
_Delight thyself also in the Lord; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart_.–PS. xxxvii. 4.

Though to-day may not fulfil All thy hopes, have patience still; For perchance to-morrow’s sun Sees thy happier days begun.
P. GERHARDT.
His great desire and delight is God; and by desiring and delighting, he hath Him. _Delight thou in the Lord, and He shall give thee thy heart’s desire,_–HIMSELF; and then surely thou shall have all. Any other thing commit it to Him, and He shall bring it to pass.
R. LEIGHTON.
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.
MARTIN LUTHER.
