God Is Close, and He Understands

“The
LORD
is
near
to
all
who
call
on
him.”
 Psalm
145:18
(NIV)

God
may
sometimes
feel
farther
away
than
the
farthest
star—but
he’s
not.
He’s
as
close
as
your
next
heartbeat.
He’s with
you 
every
moment
of
every
day.

The
Bible
says
in
Acts
17:27, “God
did
this
so
that
they
would
seek
him
and
perhaps
reach
out
for
him
and
find
him,
though
he
is
not
far
from
any
one
of
us”
 (NIV).

Today
you
may
feel
like
God
is
a
million
miles
away.
But
your
feelings
and
reality
don’t
always
match.
And
reality
is
this:
God
is
with
you
right
now.

Because
he
is
a
close
Father,
these
things
are
true
about
God:

God
is
never
too
busy
for
you.
 Psalm
145:18
says, “The
LORD
is
near
to
all
who
call
on
him” 
(NIV).
Every
time
you
call,
God
is
near.
He
thinks
about
you
a
lot
more
than
you
think
about
him.
He
thought
about
you
before
you
were
born.
He
thinks
about
you
every
moment
of
every
day.
You
may
get
too
busy
for
God—but
he
never
gets
too
busy
for
you.


God
loves
to
meet
your
needs.
 He
doesn’t
do
it
begrudgingly.
He
loves
it!
Mathew
7:11
says, “If
you
.
.
.
know
how
to
give
good
gifts
to
your
children,
how
much
more
will
your
Father
in
heaven
give
good
gifts
to
those
who
ask
him!”
 (NIV).
You
can
enjoy
the
fact
that
God
loves
giving
good
gifts
to
you.


God
is
sympathetic
to
your
hurts. 
When
you
are
going
through
something
tough,
rely
on
this
verse: “The
LORD
is
close
to
the
brokenhearted
and
saves
those
who
are
crushed
in
spirit”
 (Psalm
34:18
NIV).

he’s
already
