Bible verse
Psalm 145:18
“The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.”
What it means
God draws near to everyone who calls on Him honestly, without pretense or performance. He is not far from the sincere heart; He is as close as the whispered prayer. All He asks is truth, that we come as we really are. Through Christ the way to the Father stands open, and no cry offered in faith goes unheard. You do not need the right words or a worthy record. Call on Him plainly, and you will find Him already near.
