Bible Verses: James 4:8
“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
Reflect and Respond:
So, I used the idea of fishing in the video. But I'd love to hear your thoughts on what it means to draw near to God.
Prayer:
Father, I come to You today desiring that You would be first in my thoughts and close in my heart. Thank You for your faithfulness. Amen.
We look forward to your comments and questions below!

Beloved to draw near to Daddy God we must search Him out. We must be deliberate in our attempt to find Him...Just like going fishing. We deliberately go to find the fish.
As I read the Word of God and apply it to my life, I surely can feel that He is with me.
When I draw closer to God, his right with me wal;king close by side, sitting next to me I just talk to him.
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Just what I needed. What an amazing God we serve!
Lord Jesus I whish with all my heart that you are the number one in my life.
