God is near through our trials and tribulations. Do you know the friendship of God? He is ever-loving toward us. And there is nothing that can separate us from Him. No temptation can ever ultimately pull us from Him, who believe. He is most lovely and long-suffering with us. His love and goodness fill us.

I have known the nearness of God in my lowest moments, in my darkness moments, in my moments of fiercest battle with sin. I have known the presence and help of my God when in gravest trials. And I have known the nearness of my God through the day-to-day difficulties of a life not at all what I expected or hoped.

I have known the presence of my God, and His continual care and leadership of me. How good it is to be in the care of the Almighty, who fiercely protects, who does all for His own. How good it is to be a living sacrifice, and tell God we would go wherever and do whatever he pleased. God is near, friends. God is near.
