Deuteronomy 4:7

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us whenever we call upon him?
Deuteronomy 4:7 (ESV)

We are that nation. Not Americans... Christians. Real ones. The ones who love Jesus and follow Him.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 (ESV)

We are His people, we who believe in Jesus. Galatians 3:29 (ESV) says, "And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."

The New Testament doesn't even question whether God hears our prayers. That's already established! We are simply told that we should be "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication." (Ephesians 6:18a ESV) We are also commanded to, "pray without ceasing," (1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV).

We can have complete confidence in our God.
Our God.
He hears
and He responds
and He is on our side.
