God Is Near

  • By Faith Not By Sight

    There are many moments in life when what we see or experience doesn’t seem to match what we believe…in those times, we can slip into doubt, confusion, or fear. But faith steadies us in that uncertainty. Faith doesn’t eliminate hardship, and it doesn’t mean everything will make sense. But faith does give us that deep…

  • Loudest When Still

    There are many moments in our lives when we want the Lord to speak loudly, break through the noise of this world, and respond to our concerns in unmistakable ways. And sometimes He may! But in divine irony, scripture tells us that our all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God, who if He wanted could shout from the…

  • Draw Me Close to You, Lord

    In the busyness of each day, I need those divine reminders to call on Him, to bring Him into each moment, and to trust Him for whatever this next step might be. Awe and gratitude seem to be those things that let me focus properly on His presence and His promises. It’s in those moments…

  • Light

    I wish I could tell you that I stood strong in my faith in my darkness or in the storms of my life. But I didn’t. I gave in to the fear, the anxiety, the doubts, the uncertainty. But I remember vividly how God’s light broke through in my times of great need, and how…
