Lord will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. - Psalms 37:4

Jesus Christ knows all your heart’s desire. But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.(1Sam 16:7) God is happy in fulfilling your heart desires. But your heart desire must please God. God said to Solomon, Ask what I shall give thee. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.(1Kings 3:5) The desire of Solomon pleased God. He received more than he asked. He did not ask God for money and wealth but, asked for wisdom to rule his people. The way he asked pleased God and it’s the will of God. And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.(1Kings 3:10-13) What is the desire of your heart today? Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel.(Ps 20:4)

You must be delight with the Lord then the Lord will give you all your heart’s desires. Delight in the Lord signifies your fellowship with God. If you have always fellowship with God then God will surely fulfill all your desires. After Lot separated from Abraham, Lot lived in Sodom. God wanted to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah were great, and because their sin was grievous. Before destroying Sodom, God appeared to Abraham. As Abraham having fellowship with God and God did not want to stay from Abraham. Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? (Gen 18:18) As Abraham loved Lot he had the desire in his heart that Lot should not be destroyed with the people in Sodom. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?(Gen 18:23-24) God said if he found fifty righteous in Sodom He would not destroy them. Abraham continued to speak with God and in the end he asked God, whether He would destroy Sodom if He found there only ten righteous. As Abraham had fellowship with God and God wanted to do as per Abraham heart desire, He said he would not destroy Sodom if He found ten righteous. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.(Gen 18:32) As per Abraham desire God did not destroy Lot. If you also have the same fellowship with God like Abraham you will see all your heart desires are fulfilling in your life.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. - Philippians 2:13
