heart, desire, fear, and hope
I'm afraid to put my whole heart into something,
Because i fear at the end, only disappointment will remain.
How will God, then "give [me] the desires of [my] heart?"
I thought preparing myself for every outcome was the solution to avoid being disappointed. I don't doubt God's ability, but I do my ability to discern which desires are from Him, and which are from me. So how effective is this manner of doing things?
My own works (in this case preparing myself to meet all scenarios), covers all the bases of success and failure, allows me to plan ahead to how I will react to each outcome, softening the blow. Softening the blow... to a heart's desire's despair, if my heart is in it then there is no escape. Man's contraptions cannot assure success, I gamble with my heart.
The key to the lock of Psalm 37:4 is this: "Delight yourself in the Lord."
This is how to come about desire, and how success is guaranteed.

For what want is weighty enough to consider a "desire[] ofI must put my whole heart in. But what of the disappointment.
your heart" than for a whole-hearted want?

I do not beleive that our idea of success is God's idea. I think as well that sometimes like children we think that we can barter with God and that he may give us a Maybe for an answer. I beleive that God needs our quiet listening hearts to work and that we should understand that sometimes the answer with be a firm but loving No.
