“Some people wonder if there is a personal God. Others say he exists but feel that he is far off from them. Have you noted this?

Awake! Mar. 8

“Wouldn’t you agree that despite life’s problems we still have reason to be thankful? [Allow for response.] One reason to be thankful is the way we are made. [Read Psalm 139:14.] How grateful we can be to have the senses needed to appreciate life, as this issue of Awake! illustrates!”
