Knowing God is Near

God, we thank you; we thank you because you are near….


Psalm 75:1 (NCV)



My greatest peace comes from knowing God is near. When I know He stands beside me, that He approves of a certain direction I’ve taken or decision I’ve made with His help, I have unshakeable confidence and incredible peace.

It happened when I traveled to Saudi Arabia; it occurred when I felt led to move my family from Texas to Oregon. And as I look back, I clearly see the hand of God—adding more peace and greater confidence that He is God, my God, and oh so near!

Now I face new challenges, new decisions and again, I see God’s hand at work.

And this joy fills my soul: God, You are near!


LORD, thank You for Your promises, Your challenges and commands. Help me walk in faith knowing You are near. Amen.
