Psalm 29:3 (KJV) “The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.”
His Presence in the Waves
by C D Swanson~
Even the ocean listens to Him. The waters rise and fall at His command. And if the sea obeys Him, then surely our lives are safe in His hands. We honor Him not just in our prayers, but in the way we carry ourselves, the way we keep going, the way we choose faith over fear. Every step becomes worship when we do it for Him.
“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18
Drawing Near to You
by C D Swanson~
There are moments when the nearness of God feels like a quiet breath against the heart — gentle, steady, unmistakable. He does not wait for us to be perfect, polished, or strong. He draws near because He loves, and His love is not fragile. When life feels uncertain, His Presence becomes the anchor that steadies the soul. He steps into the room of our thoughts, calms the noise, and reminds us that we are never navigating anything alone. His nearness is not earned; it is given. And when we call on Him sincerely, He answers with peace that settles deeper than words.
“LORD, thank You for drawing near even when I feel far away. Teach my heart to rest in Your Presence and trust Your steady hand. Let Your nearness be my comfort, my clarity, and my courage today. In Jesus name, Amen.”
