The Lord is Near – Psalm 145:18

The LORD is near all who cry out to him, all who cry out to him sincerely. – Psalm 145:18 (NET)

In Psalm 145, David is praising and telling of the greatness of God. God is omnipresent, meaning that He is near and present everywhere, at all times. He is easy to reach and pays attention to those who really want to find Him. When we call on the Lord or cry out to Him with sincere faith and open hearts, He draws near. God is willing to have a close and personal relationship with us. He is there for us, ready to help us, comfort us, and listen to our prayers.

The nearness of God brings us comfort, solace, and hope during difficult times. The knowledge that God is always near and open to our call gives peace and security. We know we are never alone in our struggles.

When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, Jeremiah 29:13 (NET)

God wants to have a genuine relationship with us, so we should seek Him with humility, honesty, and a sincere heart. God listens to the prayers of His people and acts on our requests with His timing and wisdom. The Lord is near and accessible and attentive to those who earnestly seek Him.

Our Heavenly Father, You are great! We are grateful that You draw near to us and listen to our prayers. You bring hope, peace, and comfort to us. Help us to draw closer to You and listen to Your guidance. Like the open lily flowers brighten spring days, let us have open hearts and shine brightly with Your love. In Jesus’ holy name. Amen
