 JANUARY 7 God's Nearness to Us |
PRAYER. Not a bird falls from a tree that You, O God, do not know about. Be ever present to me so that I may rejoice in Your consolation. |

LET us not seek then for signs and
wonders, or ask for sensible inward tokens of
God's favor. Faith only can introduce us
to the unseen Presence of God. Let us
venture to believe.
Almighty God is hidden from us. The utmost we can do in the way of nature is to feel after Him, Who, though we see Him not, yet is not far from every one of us. |
