VERSE:

VERSE:
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and
saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
-- Psalm 34:18

THOUGHT:
The LORD is ... ... near! ... present! ... close! How do I know?
He came close in the manger. He walked among us in ministry. He
suffered with us and for us at Calvary. We know that in tragedy,
trial, heartbreak, and brokenness he is near to us to save us. So,
will our hearts be open to him and will we be seeking him to come
near? Don't let troubles or heartache lead you to pull away from
God or doubt his nearness. Let him draw close to you.

PRAYER:
O LORD, please be near me today. Make your presence known in my
life. Father, I also ask that you bless those I know who are
struggling with their faith, and with broken and disappointed
hearts. Please be active in their lives and make your presence
known in their lives. In Jesus' name. Amen.
