What do you desire?

"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." Matthew 4:10

"Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart." Psalm 119:2

The comfort of a mind at rest
From every care Thou hast not blest;
A heart from all the world set free,
To worship and to wait on Thee.

A. L. WARING.

Resign every forbidden joy; restrain every wish that is not referred to His will; banish all eager desires, all anxiety. Desire only the will of God; seek Him alone, and you will find peace. - Francois De La Mothe Fenelon

"I've been a great deal happier since I have given up thinking about what is easy and pleasant, and being discontented because I couldn't have my own will. Our life is determined for us; and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do." - George Eliot
