Jehovah is near to all those calling upon him.—Ps. 145:18.
Meaningful prayer involves more than words. It includes your innermost feelings. In your prayers, convey your warm love, deep respect, and full reliance on Jehovah. Jehovah will draw close to you, strengthening you to oppose the Devil and to make the right choices in life. (Jas. 4:7, 8) Consider how Cherie gained strength from having a close relationship with Jehovah. When she finished school, she was offered a scholarship that would enable her to pursue higher education. She realized, though, that pursuing further education would require her to devote most of her time to studying and preparing for sporting events—with little time left for serving Jehovah. “After praying to Jehovah, I declined the scholarship and began serving as a regular pioneer,” Cherie said. “I don’t have any regrets. Really, if you put God’s Kingdom first, all other things will be added to you.”—Matt. 6:33. w10 4/15 1:12, 13
