Bible Verses About Being Available To God
Answering God’s Call
Being available to God means being ready to respond to His call in our lives. We can reflect on the importance of hearing and responding to God’s voice as He asks us to serve and help others. Just as the prophets often responded with “Here I am, Lord,” we too can embrace our availability by being receptive and open-hearted. Answering God’s call can sometimes challenge us, yet it is through these moments that we grow in faith and understanding.

Daily Commitment to God
Making ourselves available to God involves daily commitment. It requires that we set aside time to pray and read scripture, ensuring we connect with His will for our lives. By establishing this daily habit, we learn more about God’s desires for us and how we can be instruments of His grace. Our daily commitment then becomes a practice of surrendering our lives to His divine plans and purposes.
