Leanna Crawford is a singer-songwriter from Washington, and has been writing, touring and singing with some of the biggest names in Christian music. While her music displays the vocal and songwriting talent of a rising star, her grounded and honest lyrics make her feel more friend and confidante than star, more approachable than untouchable. “I hope [listeners] feel that I care about them even if I don’t know them,” says Crawford, “that they would feel loved and encouraged.” Her sophomore self-titled EP, released spring of 2020, speaks honestly about doubt and insecurity as well as the hope Christ offers in our darkest moments.

DEVOTIONAL

God is near.

No matter what we face, we can always seek our unchanging God.
We just need to call on Him in truth.

Praying with truth requires recognizing our own brokenness. That means we need to accept and acknowledge that there is nothing we've done that makes us worthy of talking to the Creator of the universe.

God draws near to us because He is good, kind, merciful, and humble. And we call on Him in truth when we humbly submit our will to His and genuinely delight in Him.

This doesn't mean we need to call on Him perfectly—we can't. We simply need to come as we are, and acknowledge our deep need for His grace, mercy, and love. You don't need to have your life together. You don't need to be free from anxiety, depression, or fear. In whatever moment you find yourself, God wants you to honestly and intentionally talk to Him.

And even though we might not always sense that God is near, the Psalms remind us that God will come to anyone who calls out to Him. God's presence is not reliant on our feelings or our perception of circumstances—He is near whether we realize it or not.

So today, come as you are to the God who loves you. Draw near to God, and allow Him to draw near to you.

PRAYER
Show Me You're Near:
God, thank You for being near. You hear me when I call out to You, and You answer me. I know this, but sometimes I can’t sense Your presence, or I question Your response. In those moments, please remind me that You are my source of strength. Show me that You care, even when I can’t sense that You are near. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
