Anchor Bible Verse of the Day

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.

— (Psalm 145:18, NKJV)

This verse comes from a psalm of praise written by David. He wanted God’s people to understand that the Lord is not far away or impossible to reach.

When David wrote that God is near to all, he was sharing from his own experience of walking with the Lord through many difficult times. David knew what it felt like to need God desperately, and he also knew the comfort of God’s presence.

The phrase “in truth” means calling on God with a sincere heart, not with fake or pretending prayers. God responds to those who truly seek Him with honest hearts.

Key Explanations

  • The LORD is near: This means God is close and accessible, not distant or hard to find. He is always ready to hear and help His children.
  • To all who call upon Him: This phrase shows that God’s nearness is available to everyone who seeks Him, regardless of their background or past mistakes.
  • In truth: This means calling on God with genuine sincerity, honesty, and faith, not with empty words or pretending hearts.

God Is Near to All: A Reflection

As believers, we need to understand that God’s accessibility through prayer is one of the greatest gifts we have been given.

God is near to all who reach out to Him, and this truth should fill your heart with comfort and peace today. You do not need to feel worried or anxious about whether God hears you, because He has already promised to be close to those who call on Him.

Think about how wonderful it is that the Creator of the universe wants to be near you. He is not too busy or too important to listen to your prayers.

God is near to all means that He is near to you personally, right now, in this moment. Whether you are facing challenges at work, struggling in your relationships, or dealing with personal fears, God is right there with you.

The Bible tells us in James 4:8,

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

This verse shows us that drawing closer to God requires our participation. When we take steps toward Him through prayer, worship, and reading His Word, He responds by making His presence known to us. God is near to all who make the effort to seek Him with their whole hearts.

Consider the story of Hagar in Genesis 16. She was alone in the desert, feeling abandoned and hopeless. But when she cried out to God, He heard her and spoke to her.

Hagar was so amazed that God saw her and cared about her situation that she called Him “the God who sees me.”

This story shows us that God is near to all, even those who feel forgotten or invisible. He sees you, He hears you, and He cares about every detail of your life.

As you go through your day, remember that you have instant access to God through prayer. You do not need to wait for a special time or place.

God is near to all who call on Him means you can talk to Him right now, wherever you are. Whether you are driving, working, or resting at home, you can speak to the Lord and know that He is listening. Just as God offers constant protection, He also offers constant nearness.

Make it your habit today to remember that God is near to all. When you feel stressed, stop and talk to Him. When you feel happy, thank Him. When you need guidance, ask Him.

The more you practice talking to God throughout your day, the more you will experience His presence and peace. True love from God includes His constant nearness to His children.
