Draw near to God.

Here is a poem woven with the scripture that calls us to draw near.

---

The world is loud, my soul feels thin, A storm of noise that rages within. A whispered prayer is all I know, A single step,though tremulous and slow.

But then a promise, ancient, true, A breath of life to see me through: "Draw near to God,"the words are clear, A gentle call to banish fear. And in return,a vow is made, "And He will draw near,"a promise laid.

I come with nothing, empty-handed, On shifting sand,my faith has landed. I seek His face,I bow my head, On daily bread my soul is fed. "Draw near to God,"my spirit sighs, Beneath the vast,eternal skies.

And like a dawn, a warmth, a grace, I feel the comfort of embrace. The gap is closed,the distance crossed, No longer lost,no longer tossed. For"He will draw near to you," it's true, His presence makes all things anew.

So let the heart that seeks His will, Be still,be calm, be hopeful still. Take that one step,however small, He answers every earnest call. For in the drawing close,we find, The God of all,to us aligned.
