James 4:8a Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
Are you feeling isolated
and alone, vulnerable and insecure?
Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
Have you put some of your
plans on hold, or did someone disappoint you?
Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
Are you feeling empty and
run down, exhausted or exasperated with life?
Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
Are you worried about a
loved one, your health or your work, your circumstances or future?
Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
Do you feel as though no
one understands or cares about what you are going through?
Come near to God and He will come near to
you.
You are a beloved child of God’s grace and He will
draw near to you, to comfort and embrace you, to guide and encourage you, to strengthen
and renew you.
Come near to God and He will come near to
you. Amen.
John Stuart is the pastor
of Erin Presbyterian Church in Knoxville,
