So, we have talked about worldly desires, The flesh, submission, and us, today we will now be looking at what God desires. To do this let's look at what the Bible says. To start off with in Psalm 51:6 says, Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. God desires us to seek and to have/be truth(ful). But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22. So, we are to flee lust and that lust is youthful. We are to desire what is right. We are to desire faith love and peace as well. We need to seek all these desires like God tells us but what is the greatest desire of God.
The greatest desire of God is a relationship with us. if that were not true, then why would we have the verse, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Revelations 3:20. God desires it all from us in this relationship and that is evident as it states in Mark 12:30, and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. God desires to seek what is good and what is right but most of all what He desires is a relationship with us, and that relationship requires everything.
Dear God
I pray that I no longer seek the things of this world
but the things of You
That the desires you seek are the things that I would seek
I pray for protection surrounding this that all negative, evil, and the devil himself would have hands off
God I thank you for the desires of You
Have those things which you desire be sown into my heart
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Have a beyond blessed day!!!!
