Close for Comfort

The LORD is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him sincerely. PSALM 145:18 NLT 

My unsearchable greatness is your practical strength.

   Worthy of highest honor and praise, powerful beyond calculation—

      I am the Greatest Force.

        Above politics, I do more than make promises—I keep them.

           Holy Radiant Light changes your night to brightest day.

My unparalleled generosity is your plentiful supply.

   Embraced by My heart’s tenderness, satisfied by My lavish care—

      I am your Gracious Father.

        Infinite resources satisfy your heart’s hunger and thirst.

My unfailing government is your positive solution.

   Submitting to My reign, giving allegiance to the King of kings—

      I am your Glorious Future.

        I heal your heartaches when life seems hopeless.

My understanding gentleness is your peaceful serenity.

   Understanding you when no one else seems to care,

      Standing under you when no one else can help—

        I am your Greatest Friend.

           In your heart, you are already home—rest easy.

My unimaginable gladness is your praise song.

   Closer than hands and feet, nearer than your very breath—

      I am your Grand Festival.

        Rejoice in inner-stances and practice gratitude perpetually.

           I am not distant—I am near to the trusting heart.

             You do not have to travel to find Me—just pray.
