I think people often miss the point of this scripture, I did for a long time. This does not tell us that God will fulfill any wish list we make up and present to Him. If we are walking with Him, He will fill our hearts with desire of the things He wants us to have. Instead of lusting after material possessions, God will lead us toward ways we can give and receive love, putting others before ourselves, and glorifying Him in the process. As we draw closer to Him, He changes our hearts to desire what He stands ready to bless us with and find true fulfillment from.
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
