If you haven’t experienced this, you can ask God to show you His love and nearness anytime. • God invites us to come to Him with all our needs, but sometimes, it can be hard to ask God for help when we need it.

READ: PSALMS 9:10; 63:1-8; ACTS 17:27
When I search for You
You’re not hard to find
When I need a friend
You are always kind
When I ask for help
You are always there
Whenever I’m in a mess
You still show me You care
When others do me harm
You hold and comfort me
In the times I feel alone
By my side, You’ll be
When I need my Savior
I simply call to You
You always come to me
And help me with all I do • Bethany Acker
