Talking to God

Do you consider God near or far away? Actually, the Bible teaches that God is everywhere. That means He is near you. He is near you all the time. Only faith recognizes He is near. Unbelief does not consider God's presence anywhere.

Prayer is talking to God. It's just that simple. Some people may think that only a minister educated in religion can effectively talk with God. The truth is anyone can call upon God, and He is always near to hear. If you talk to God truly from your heart, then He listens.

It's good to have a "quiet time" with the Lord in the morning, talking to Him about the concerns of your heart. It's even better to talk with Him throughout the day, no matter where you are.

God is there for you. Even though you don't see God, His word declares He is there. People of faith know that prayer is talking to God anywhere and anytime.

"The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
to all who call upon Him in truth."

Psalm 145:18
