An excerpt from "Christianity.com" entitled, "Why Are We Called to Draw Near to God?" by April Motl, states: "Drawing near to God gives peace to our souls; peace from the burden of our sins and peace in the midst of the burdens that come to us through others’ sin as well. The nearness of God is our answer."
