Closer to God

What I heard from Dr. Hendricks still reverberates in my mind. He said, "The more Jesus makes his home in my heart, the more characteristics of Jesus Christ will be manifest in my life. I will be a praying person. I will be a dependent person." It was a national day of prayer, and I believe many prayers must have been prayed to God on that occasion. It's a great thing the whole Christian community can set apart a day and pray corporately. I took some time to join that spirit in the evening as I took a stroll around the campus. God, You are an awesome God. You are sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, holy, loving, just, faithful, self-existent, infinite, and immutable. There is nothing and no one greater than you in the universe. My life is in you, O God. I cast all my anxieties, concerns, insecurity, and uncertainties before you. I run to you. My future is in your hand. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
