Day 10: Call God
Question: Has there been a time in your life recently when God has felt distant?
Passage: Psalm 145:18 (ESV): “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
Reflection: God is always near, and you are never too far gone.
There is a song by Elevation Worship titled “Call God” that I’ve been listening to a lot over the past few days. One line in the chorus says, “Every time I call Your name, You come running.” What a beautiful truth.
Sadly, many of us struggle to believe that God always hears our prayers. Instead, we fall for the lies of the enemy - that God is mad at us and won’t hear our call if we have sin in our lives.
I’m not sure how many times we need to hear this before we truly believe it, so here it is again: God is not mad at you. Yes, your sin grieves God’s heart. But do you know what else grieves Him? When His children stop talking to Him.
Call God. He is always just one call away. God is not distant - you are.
Remember this: the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32) isn’t just a parable; it reflects reality. The Father is always waiting, always welcoming. Don’t wait to call on God until you have this whole sin thing figured out - you can’t figure it out without Him anyway.
As we fast together today, take a moment to talk to God honestly. You don’t need to use fancy, churchy words. Be vulnerable and be yourself. He is listening. Just call on Him.
Prayer: Almighty God, thank You for Your unconditional love - that even when I do the things You hate, You still love me and never turn me away when I come to You. I am sorry for every time I forget that Your love is so much greater than my sin. Help me remember that You are always near, just one call away. Teach me to develop a habit of calling on You every day, in every moment - on the mountains and in the valleys, on good days and bad days, when the enemy surrounds me, and especially when nothing is wrong at all. Amen
