The Lord is Near

By: Shari A. Miller

I have no words for what is going on in our nation today.

My heart is broken for the people in Texas.

I can't even come close to imagining what they're going through. Nor, do I have answers as to why this is happening.

One thing I do know is that we need to pray. We need to pray fervently, without ceasing, we need to pray like we never have before.

"Pray without ceasing."

1 Thessalonians 5:17

So many have lost everything. It's time for us as a nation to wake up, to heal the division in our land and work together to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those that need it most.

Even though we can not see with our human eyes, I promise you that the Lord is near. Call out to Him during these troubled times. He hears, he knows what's going on, he sees every single tear that falls. He will comfort you during these times of heart ache, He'll direct you when all hope seems lost.

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." 

Psalm 34:18
