  • 00:00:01
    Before we pray, let's first take a
  • 00:00:03
    moment to listen to God's word and then
  • 00:00:06
    we'll pray
  • 00:00:07
    together. The power of human desire is
  • 00:00:10
    truly an amazing thing. It can stir our
  • 00:00:14
    hearts toward
  • 00:00:15
    greatness. It can fuel dreams that lift
  • 00:00:18
    others up, spark inventions that change
  • 00:00:21
    the world, and inspire acts of love and
  • 00:00:24
    sacrifice that speak for generations.
  • 00:00:27
    God created desire within us. He wired
  • 00:00:30
    us with the capacity to long for
  • 00:00:32
    something more, to reach for things
  • 00:00:35
    beyond
  • 00:00:36
    ourselves. In many ways, our passions
  • 00:00:39
    are a gift from
  • 00:00:41
    him. But there's something crucial we
  • 00:00:43
    must always
  • 00:00:44
    remember. Desire, as powerful as it is,
  • 00:00:49
    can either lead us closer to God or pull
  • 00:00:52
    us away from him. If our desires are not
  • 00:00:55
    shaped by his heart, if they are left
  • 00:00:57
    unchecked and unguarded, they can
  • 00:01:00
    quietly steer us down a path we never
  • 00:01:02
    intended to
  • 00:01:04
    walk. Wrong desires don't often come
  • 00:01:06
    like a sudden storm. They come slowly
  • 00:01:10
    and
  • 00:01:11
    subtly. And before we realize it, we can
  • 00:01:14
    find ourselves far from where we meant
  • 00:01:16
    to be, chasing after things that hurt
  • 00:01:19
    us, trap us, or leave us empty.
  • 00:01:24
    That's why as followers of Jesus, we
  • 00:01:26
    must be careful of our own hearts, we
  • 00:01:29
    must pay close attention to the seeds of
  • 00:01:32
    desire that are growing inside
  • 00:01:34
    us. What are we longing for? What
  • 00:01:38
    excites us? What dreams occupy our
  • 00:01:41
    thoughts late at night? Are these
  • 00:01:44
    desires building our relationship with
  • 00:01:46
    Christ or subtly replacing him?
  • 00:01:50
    Whatever it is that stirs our passion,
  • 00:01:53
    whether it's a career, a relationship, a
  • 00:01:56
    dream, or even a
  • 00:01:59
    ministry, it should never ever take the
  • 00:02:02
    throne of our hearts where Jesus alone
  • 00:02:05
    belongs. Nothing should compromise our
  • 00:02:07
    closeness to
  • 00:02:09
    him. The Bible gives us a beautiful key
  • 00:02:12
    in Psalm 37:es 4 and 5.
  • 00:02:15
    Delight yourself in the Lord and he will
  • 00:02:18
    give you the desires of your heart.
  • 00:02:20
    Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in
  • 00:02:23
    him and he will
  • 00:02:25
    act. At first glance, it might sound
  • 00:02:29
    like God is promising to fulfill every
  • 00:02:31
    wish we could ever dream up. But when we
  • 00:02:34
    look deeper, we
  • 00:02:36
    realize this isn't a blank check for our
  • 00:02:38
    earthly cravings. It's an invitation
  • 00:02:41
    into transformation.
  • 00:02:44
    When you truly fall in love with God,
  • 00:02:47
    when you spend time in his word, when
  • 00:02:49
    you walk with him daily, when you open
  • 00:02:52
    your heart, something beautiful begins
  • 00:02:55
    to happen inside you. Your desires start
  • 00:02:58
    to change. The things that once
  • 00:03:01
    captivated you lose their shine. The
  • 00:03:04
    pursuits that once felt so urgent begin
  • 00:03:06
    to feel small, and instead, your heart
  • 00:03:10
    starts beating in rhythm with God's own
  • 00:03:12
    heart. You begin to desire what he
  • 00:03:15
    desires. You start longing for the
  • 00:03:17
    things that bring him joy, the healing
  • 00:03:19
    of broken hearts, the salvation of lost
  • 00:03:23
    souls, the spread of truth in a world
  • 00:03:25
    that's desperate for it, justice for the
  • 00:03:29
    oppressed, mercy for the hurting, and a
  • 00:03:32
    deeper closeness with him that nothing
  • 00:03:34
    in this world can
  • 00:03:36
    match. When your desires are shaped by
  • 00:03:38
    God's love, you won't just live
  • 00:03:41
    differently. You'll love differently.
  • 00:03:44
    You'll spend your time
  • 00:03:45
    differently. You'll dream bigger dreams,
  • 00:03:48
    not for your own glory, but for his
  • 00:03:52
    kingdom. And here's the beautiful truth.
  • 00:03:55
    When your desires line up with his, he
  • 00:03:58
    delights in giving you the desires of
  • 00:04:00
    your heart because they're already
  • 00:04:03
    aligned with his will for
  • 00:04:05
    you. Jesus captures this so clearly in
  • 00:04:08
    Matthew 5:6.
  • 00:04:11
    Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
  • 00:04:13
    for righteousness, for they shall be
  • 00:04:17
    satisfied. Notice what Jesus says will
  • 00:04:20
    satisfy you. It's not wealth, not
  • 00:04:23
    applause, not
  • 00:04:25
    ease. It's
  • 00:04:27
    righteousness. It's being right with
  • 00:04:29
    God. It's living in a way that reflects
  • 00:04:32
    his goodness and his grace.
  • 00:04:36
    And again in Jeremiah
  • 00:04:38
    29:13, God
  • 00:04:41
    promises, "You will seek me and find me
  • 00:04:43
    when you seek me with all your
  • 00:04:46
    heart." There are no uncertain
  • 00:04:48
    conditions in these promises. The world
  • 00:04:51
    can offer you thousands of dreams, but
  • 00:04:54
    it cannot guarantee you
  • 00:04:55
    fulfillment. Money may come, but peace
  • 00:04:58
    may not. Fame might arrive, but
  • 00:05:02
    loneliness might still linger. Success
  • 00:05:05
    might be achieved, but purpose could
  • 00:05:07
    still feel
  • 00:05:08
    missing. But when you seek Jesus with
  • 00:05:11
    all your heart, he promises you will
  • 00:05:14
    find him. And finding him is finding
  • 00:05:17
    everything your soul was made for. I
  • 00:05:20
    encourage you today to meditate on the
  • 00:05:22
    prayer of King David in Psalm 27:4.
  • 00:05:27
    One thing I ask from the Lord, this only
  • 00:05:30
    do I
  • 00:05:31
    seek, that I may dwell in the house of
  • 00:05:33
    the Lord all the days of my life, to
  • 00:05:36
    gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to
  • 00:05:38
    seek him in his
  • 00:05:41
    temple. Imagine having one burning
  • 00:05:43
    desire, and it's simply to be close to
  • 00:05:46
    God. Not for what he can give you, but
  • 00:05:50
    just for who he is.
  • 00:05:52
    David understood that everything else in
  • 00:05:54
    life fades. But God's presence is the
  • 00:05:57
    treasure that never loses its worth. Can
  • 00:06:00
    you say the same today? Is your greatest
  • 00:06:03
    longing to know him more deeply, to
  • 00:06:06
    dwell in his love, to walk in his
  • 00:06:09
    light. The Bible also gently warns us in
  • 00:06:11
    Proverbs
  • 00:06:13
    23:17, "Do not let your heart envy
  • 00:06:16
    sinners, but always continue in the fear
  • 00:06:19
    of the Lord."
  • 00:06:21
    It's not always easy. It can be tempting
  • 00:06:24
    to look around and see others chasing
  • 00:06:26
    worldly dreams and wonder if you're
  • 00:06:27
    missing out. But friend, remember
  • 00:06:31
    this. The things of this world are
  • 00:06:34
    temporary. They are fleeting. Without
  • 00:06:37
    Jesus, they crumble. Only his love, his
  • 00:06:41
    truth, and his kingdom will stand
  • 00:06:43
    forever. So today, I encourage you, pray
  • 00:06:47
    for godly desires.
  • 00:06:49
    Pray for a heart that is aligned with
  • 00:06:51
    heaven. Ask Jesus to shape your longings
  • 00:06:54
    until seeking him becomes the greatest
  • 00:06:56
    adventure and the deepest passion of
  • 00:06:59
    your
  • 00:07:00
    life. Because when your heart beats in
  • 00:07:02
    rhythm with his, you'll find joy that
  • 00:07:05
    circumstances can't
  • 00:07:07
    steal. You'll find peace that storms
  • 00:07:10
    can't shake. You'll find purpose that
  • 00:07:12
    time cannot
  • 00:07:14
    erase. And you'll find yourself right
  • 00:07:16
    where you were always meant to be.
  • 00:07:19
    in the center of his will, chasing after
  • 00:07:21
    his heart, filled with a love that truly
  • 00:07:25
    satisfies. Now, let's take a moment to
  • 00:07:27
    pray
  • 00:07:29
    together. Dear Lord Jesus, so often I
  • 00:07:33
    fill my heart and life with things that
  • 00:07:35
    seem so urgent, so important in the
  • 00:07:38
    moment.
  • 00:07:40
    I chase after accomplishments, applause,
  • 00:07:42
    possessions,
  • 00:07:44
    pleasures, thinking they will fill the
  • 00:07:46
    restlessness deep inside me. I pour out
  • 00:07:50
    my energy, my time, my thoughts, chasing
  • 00:07:52
    things I believe will make me
  • 00:07:55
    happy. But Lord, without you, everything
  • 00:07:58
    falls
  • 00:07:59
    flat. Without you, even my greatest
  • 00:08:03
    achievements feel empty.
  • 00:08:05
    Without you, even the sweetest moments
  • 00:08:08
    are missing something
  • 00:08:10
    essential. Without you, Lord, nothing
  • 00:08:13
    holds its
  • 00:08:15
    meaning. You alone are the treasure my
  • 00:08:17
    heart is truly searching
  • 00:08:19
    for. You are the pearl of great price,
  • 00:08:23
    the living fountain that never runs
  • 00:08:25
    dry, the true bread that satisfies my
  • 00:08:28
    soul
  • 00:08:29
    forever, the light that no darkness can
  • 00:08:31
    overcome.
  • 00:08:34
    There is nothing, absolutely nothing,
  • 00:08:38
    that compares to the overwhelming joy of
  • 00:08:40
    knowing
  • 00:08:41
    you. Your word says in Psalm
  • 00:08:45
    73:25, "Whom have I in heaven but you?
  • 00:08:49
    And earth has nothing I desire besides
  • 00:08:53
    you, Lord. Make this the cry of my
  • 00:08:57
    heart. Not just a verse I recite, but a
  • 00:09:00
    living reality in me.
  • 00:09:04
    Let these words breathe through every
  • 00:09:06
    fiber of my
  • 00:09:07
    being. Teach me to treasure you above
  • 00:09:10
    anything this world could
  • 00:09:12
    offer. Let my soul find its deepest joy
  • 00:09:15
    simply in being near you. For everything
  • 00:09:18
    around me
  • 00:09:19
    fades, but you remain
  • 00:09:22
    forever. King Jesus, lift my eyes away
  • 00:09:25
    from the glittering distractions of this
  • 00:09:27
    world.
  • 00:09:29
    Set my mind on things above, not on
  • 00:09:32
    things that are passing
  • 00:09:34
    away. Teach me to love what you love, to
  • 00:09:38
    value what you
  • 00:09:40
    value. Teach me to see time, people,
  • 00:09:44
    opportunities, and even hardships the
  • 00:09:47
    way you see them with wisdom,
  • 00:09:50
    compassion, and eternal
  • 00:09:53
    purpose. Change the way I think.
  • 00:09:56
    Lord, renew my mind each day by your
  • 00:10:00
    truth. Let my thoughts reflect yours.
  • 00:10:04
    Let my heart mirror
  • 00:10:05
    yours. Let my vision be shaped by your
  • 00:10:08
    everlasting
  • 00:10:10
    kingdom. Let the beauty of your
  • 00:10:13
    gospel, the breathtaking truth that you
  • 00:10:16
    gave everything to rescue me, capture my
  • 00:10:19
    heart again and again.
  • 00:10:21
    Let it move me to live
  • 00:10:23
    differently, to love more deeply, to
  • 00:10:27
    speak words that breathe
  • 00:10:29
    life. Never let me grow numb to the
  • 00:10:31
    wonder of the
  • 00:10:33
    cross. Let it stir me every day to walk
  • 00:10:36
    in gratitude, humility, and joyful
  • 00:10:39
    obedience. Remind me, Lord, that true
  • 00:10:42
    joy isn't found in getting more,
  • 00:10:44
    achieving more, or being known by
  • 00:10:47
    others.
  • 00:10:48
    True joy is found in being closer to
  • 00:10:51
    you, in sitting at your feet, in hearing
  • 00:10:54
    your voice above all the noise. I
  • 00:10:57
    confess, Jesus, that my natural heart
  • 00:10:59
    often craves selfish things, comfort,
  • 00:11:02
    recognition, control, things that turn
  • 00:11:05
    my eyes inward rather than upward.
  • 00:11:08
    But today with all that I am, I bow
  • 00:11:12
    before you and
  • 00:11:14
    say, "Not my will, Lord, but yours be
  • 00:11:18
    done. Let your name be lifted higher
  • 00:11:21
    than my
  • 00:11:22
    dreams, higher than my
  • 00:11:24
    plans, higher than any earthly
  • 00:11:28
    ambition. Thank you, Jesus, for saving
  • 00:11:32
    me. Thank you for pulling me off the
  • 00:11:34
    path of ruin and giving me a life filled
  • 00:11:36
    with hope.
  • 00:11:38
    purpose and a grace I could never
  • 00:11:41
    earn. Thank you for loving me when I
  • 00:11:43
    didn't deserve it. For chasing after me
  • 00:11:46
    even when I turned
  • 00:11:49
    away. Your love is my
  • 00:11:51
    anchor. Your mercy is the song of my
  • 00:11:55
    heart. Grow in me, Lord, a deeper love
  • 00:11:58
    for you. A love that burns brighter with
  • 00:12:01
    each passing
  • 00:12:02
    day. Let sin grieve me the way it
  • 00:12:05
    grieves you.
  • 00:12:06
    Let my heart break when I drift away
  • 00:12:08
    from you even for a moment. Tear out
  • 00:12:12
    every root of
  • 00:12:13
    worldliness, every stubborn branch of
  • 00:12:15
    pride, fear, or selfishness that still
  • 00:12:18
    lingers in me. Uproot anything, Lord,
  • 00:12:21
    that stands in the way of knowing you
  • 00:12:23
    more. Holy Spirit, I invite you. Come
  • 00:12:28
    and do a new work inside me. Plant new
  • 00:12:31
    desires in my heart. Water them with
  • 00:12:34
    your truth.
  • 00:12:36
    Shine the light of your love on them.
  • 00:12:39
    Make me hunger and thirst not just for a
  • 00:12:41
    good life, but for a holy
  • 00:12:44
    life. Set a fire within me, Lord. A fire
  • 00:12:48
    that longs only for you. A fire that no
  • 00:12:51
    storm of life can
  • 00:12:53
    extinguish. A fire that lights up every
  • 00:12:56
    dark place in me and burns away every
  • 00:12:58
    false
  • 00:12:59
    treasure. Search me,
  • 00:13:01
    Jesus. Look into every hidden corner of
  • 00:13:04
    my heart.
  • 00:13:05
    Expose every idol I have unknowingly
  • 00:13:08
    built. Tear them down. Tear down the
  • 00:13:12
    pride, the stubbornness, the fears, the
  • 00:13:15
    greed, everything that stands where only
  • 00:13:18
    you should
  • 00:13:19
    be. Replace it all,
  • 00:13:21
    Lord. Replace it with your
  • 00:13:24
    holiness. Replace it with your
  • 00:13:27
    purity. Replace it with your steadfast,
  • 00:13:29
    unshakable love.
  • 00:13:32
    Give me a burning passion to share your
  • 00:13:34
    good news with those around
  • 00:13:36
    me. Let me not stay silent about the
  • 00:13:38
    hope that has saved me. Fill me with
  • 00:13:42
    boldness to speak of your love. Fill me
  • 00:13:45
    with compassion to reach the hurting,
  • 00:13:47
    the forgotten, the
  • 00:13:50
    lost. Let my life be a living
  • 00:13:53
    testimony. I know, Lord, that when I
  • 00:13:56
    seek you with all my heart, you will
  • 00:13:59
    never turn me away.
  • 00:14:01
    You are always near to those who long
  • 00:14:03
    for you. You are the rewarder of those
  • 00:14:06
    who diligently seek you. So today I say
  • 00:14:10
    with all
  • 00:14:11
    sincerity, I want you, Jesus. I need
  • 00:14:14
    you, Jesus, more than anything, more
  • 00:14:18
    than
  • 00:14:19
    everything. Change my heart, Lord.
  • 00:14:22
    Change my
  • 00:14:23
    desires. Make my life a song of endless
  • 00:14:26
    praise to you. Thank you for hearing my
  • 00:14:29
    prayer.
  • 00:14:31
    In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I
  • 00:14:34
    pray. Amen. If this prayer has touched
  • 00:14:38
    your heart, please type amen as a sign
  • 00:14:40

  • 00:14:42
    this prayer is now upon you in the name
  • 00:14:44
    of Jesus. And if you need a special
  • 00:14:46
    prayer, feel free to let us know in the
  • 00:14:48
    comments. We would be honored to pray
  • 00:14:50
    for you. May the grace and peace of our
  • 00:14:52
    Lord Jesus Christ be with you always.
