    Scripture: “The Lord is near to all who call on Him.” — Psalm 145:18 (NIV)   Reflection: God isn’t distant, distracted, or “busy right now.” He’s near. Always.   Even when your prayers are messy. Even when all you can manage is, “Lord… help.” God doesn’t require perfect wording —…

    January 7, 2026 - By Heide Watson

Not by chance. But by God’s hand, His timing, and His faithful presence.   God places people exactly where…
