pray for God’s presence – He is always within arm’s reach, ready to guide and support us.

Message: The Lord is near to all who call on him. This profound truth from Psalms 145:18 serves as a reminder of God’s unwavering presence and readiness to listen to our hearts. In moments of despair, joy, or confusion, the assurance that the Lord is near brings comfort and strength. He invites us into a relationship where we can openly express our fears, hopes, and dreams. When we reach out to Him, no matter the circumstances, we find solace in knowing that He is always within arm’s reach, ready to guide and support us. Our calls do not go unheard; instead, they resonate with the love and attention of a caring Father. The act of calling on Him is not only an invitation for Him to step into our lives but also a declaration of our trust in His omnipotence and love. Let us remember that even in our darkest hours, we are never alone. His presence is a sanctuary, a source of healing, and the foundation of our faith. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence. Thank You for the promise that You are near to all who call on You. In moments of our lives when we feel lost and alone, help us to remember that Your presence is always within reach. Teach us to call on You in prayer with open hearts and minds, knowing that You hear every word and understand every thought that remains unspoken. Remind us that we do not need to have the right words or perfect faith, for our sincere cries for help are enough. Lord, we are thankful for Your unwavering love that reaches beyond our circumstances. You are a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. When the burdens of life weigh heavy on our shoulders, may we find solace in Your embrace, drawing strength from Your promises. Help us to cultivate a deeper relationship with You, so that in our moments of joy and sorrow, we find the courage to turn to You. Guide us in seeking You above all else, knowing You are the answer to every question and the peace in every storm. Let us rest in the assurance that Your love is unfailing and Your grace is sufficient for our every need. May Your presence fill our hearts with hope, comfort, and the certainty that we are never alone. We thank You, God, for being our steadfast companion. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.
