In the Old Testament Habakkuk trembles at the majesty and greatness of God. Hab. 3: 5-6, 10-12 "Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger."
In the D&C we're told to go out from Babylon (the world and its sins) and be clean that bear the vessels of the Lord. D&C 133: 5 "Go ye out from Babylon. Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the Lord."
Some scriptures with a thought booklet tell us to delight in the Lord, trust Him, and do good. He will give us the desires of our heart. If we truly delight in the Lord, we will love Him with all our hearts and we will want to please Him and keep His commandments. And the desires of our heart will be aligned with His will. We're willing to trust in Him with whatever His will is. So of course He'll grant us the desires of our heart! Ps. 37: 3-4 "Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
