Prayer Focus-Nearness of God

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Focus, we take a look at the nearness of God to hear our prayers.

This is what Psalm 145:18 affirms:

“The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

James 4:8 invites us to the throne of grace with these words. “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”

God is approachable. He has made it possible for us to have an intimate relationship with Him through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We can call on His name, and have the confidence that He will respond to the earnest prayers of our heart with His grace.

The Nearness of God to hear our prayers is worth examining for a faith-focused life.
