too far away

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4

Sweet Sally was sad as she told me her best friend just moved to Michigan.

"I understand how you feel, Sally.  When that happened to me, my friend and i kept in touch by visiting each other in the summer and writing letters during the year."

With a confused look on her face, Sally responded, "Well, my mailman doesn't like to travel that much."

After i explained to her he doesn't actually take it all the way to Michigan, but it's sent to Michigan by big mail trucks, she looked quite relieved and hopeful.  

No matter how far away or complicated the issue, many times the answer or solution is closer than we think. God is never too far away to care or listen.  As we pray and bring our concerns and desires to Him first, may we trust His direction and help.  

Thank You, Father.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
