The Heart God Hears

Commentators stress that the promise to "fulfil the desire" is for "them that fear him." This isn't a servile dread but a reverential worship. Scholars like John Gill clarify that God grants desires that align with His will and are prayed in submission. The promise is for those whose hearts are truly oriented toward God.
