What is most important about God is that he is the presence that makes the world seem less frightening.

I was thinking this morning, what would it be like if we didn't know we can call on the presence of God in times of fear, times of great trouble? You must admit, it IS an automatic thing when great crushing grief, fear or loss comes upon most of us - and I mean MOST of us. People who don't normally seem to even think about praying just automatically resort to it when faced with anguish or fear of loss. And I think that's a GOOD THING. Scriptures - His Word - tell us that "He is a very present help in times of trouble." So, I am thankful, my heart sings with the truth that He likes to hang around us earthlings, Pretty cool God if you ask me.
