True, The Bible never actually says this (nor is it a valid teaching, even in other words), for God NEVER makes a sweeping promise to "fulfill the desire of your heart." Indeed:

"For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man." (Mark 7:21-23)

However, you might be thinking of passages such as these:

Psalm 145:19 - He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.

Proverbs 10:24 - The fear of the wicked will come upon him, And the desire of the righteous will be granted.

Note the qualifiers in these verses, though: "those who fear him" and "the righteous." Both statements are other ways of saying "obedient believers." Thus, although they're Old Testament verses, the principle they impart is unchanging, and fully applies to Christians.

Why are the holy scriptures important for believers of Buddhism?

The "holy scriptures" of other religions (the Christian Bible. the Qur'an, etc.) are only important as philosophical works. Buddhist has no holy scriptures of its own as the word "holy" would identify a godly origin. There is no god in Buddhism, thus no god given origin of scriptures. Buddhist texts and books (e.g. the Heart Sutra) are important as they contain discussions and arguments for the Buddhist wold view.
