Question

What's a good verse that can bring you closer to God or talks about how He is always near you?

Answer 1

this verse is from the quran; "When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way."

Surah 2 Verse 186

Answer 2

Psalm 91:15-16: "He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation."

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

--Deuteronomy 31:6

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Answer 3

Psalm 145:18

Answer 4

Mind is your ship, the Adjuster is your pilot, the human will is captain. The master of the mortal vessel should have the wisdom to trust the divine pilot to guide the ascending soul into the morontia harbors of eternal survival. Only by selfishness, slothfulness, and sinfulness can the will of man reject the guidance of such a loving pilot and eventually wreck the mortal career upon the evil shoals of rejected mercy and upon the rocks of embraced sin. With your consent, this faithful pilot will safely carry you across the barriers of time and the handicaps of space to the very source of the divine mind and on beyond, even to the Paradise Father of Adjusters.

Answer 5

Jer 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Answer 6

All of Psalms 139. It is incredible how he knows our thoughts before we even think them. He is always beside us or holding us in his loving and faithful hand.

Our pastor actually gave his surmon on this very passage this weekend...so I believe he is so near to you he knew this would help you at this moment this time.

Rest in his powerful and gentle Arms!

Answer 8

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.  James 4:8.

Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

And let us consider how to stimulate one another in love and good deeds.  Hebrews 10:22-24

Thy words were found and I ate them;

And thy words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;

For I have been called by Thy name, O Lord of hosts.  Jeremiah 15:16

This I recall to my mind,

Therefore I have hope.

The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

For His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

Great is Thy faithfulness.

The Lord is my portion;

Therefore I have hope in Him.

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

To the person who seeks Him.

Lamentations 3:21-24

God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

though the earth should change,

And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

Though its waters roar and foam,

Though the mountains quake

at it's swelling pride.

There is a river whose streams make glad

the city of God.

The Holy dwelling places of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she will not

be moved.  

God will help her when morning dawns.

Answer 10

Pro 3:6   Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths.  

Answer 11

You must get this stupid notion out of your head that God is male. "God HE... God in HIS... You must pray to HIM...etc.

The Spirit we call God has no human form. The Spirit exist throughout the Universe.The Spirit is always with you and all humans and everything else in this Universe. Pray to the Spirit anytime 24 hours a day. And it's free!

Any verse you wish as long as it does not refer the the Spirit as a male or anything else physical.
