The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. (Ps 145:18)

Isn’t that a great promise? It’s one you can put to work today.
God is near to those who are stumbling.

The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. (Ps 145:14 ESV)
You may have stumbled and fallen. Perhaps you just didn’t do what you should have. Maybe you stumbled in your job, and you are embarrassed and worried about it. Perhaps you have stumbled into sin.

God is near to those who carry burdens. Those who are bowed down with the weight of care can find rest if they will call upon Him.
God is near to those who are starving.

The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. (Ps 145:15)
Verse 16 shows how simple it is for God to answer prayer:

You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Ps 145:16 ESV)
All God has to do is open His hand to meet our needs today.

The problem is, we often don’t open our hearts and cry out to Him.
God is near to those who are seeking.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he also hears their cry and saves them. (Ps 145:19)
God is near to those who seek Him with love.

The LORD preserves all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. (Ps 145:20 ESV)
Follow the advice of James:

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).
God is not far from you.

He’s waiting for you to take that first step, to cry out to Him and say, “Lord, I want to draw close to You. Here I am.”
Have you stumbled? Are you carrying a burden, or are you in need?

He promises to be near to all those who call upon Him.
He neither leaves you nor forsakes you!
