Betsy, Jesus wants to give us the desires of our heart ❤️! Sometimes He might not give us what we desire! I know this well! My daughters father walked away on the day she was born. It was very hurtful as I prayed everyday that He would come back. I prayed daily that Jesus would bring him back to us. That never happened and that is fine, God will always be with you! The desires of our heart are up to God! And protection He gives us. It may hurt that he says no, just trust him and he will give you peace!
