The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. Psa. 145:18
Calling upon the Lord is a believer’s supreme privilege. Call upon Him in truth signifies to pray in light of God’s true nature and true will. The best way for us to call upon God in truth is to immerse ourselves in the Word of God. Here we glimpse the actions of God that reveal his nature. Here we read what God says about himself. Here we can find God's will for our behavior. The more we allow the written Word of God to permeate our minds and hearts, the more we will be able to pray in truth.
When we pray in this way, not only will we find that our prayers are answered positively, but also we will sense the presence of God in our lives. He will be “close” to us as we meditate upon his truth, growing into a deeper relationship with him. May we be drawn closer to Him as we call upon Him in truth.
