Sitting with this verse
Near the close of this praise psalm (the heading names David), the singer has been extolling God’s greatness across generations. Then the scale turns small and close: the LORD is “nigh,” the old word for near, to everyone who calls. The single condition is calling “in truth,” honestly, without pretense or performance. No polished words are needed. Take a moment to tell God plainly where you really are.

From Psalm 145
God holds up all who stumble and lifts those bent low. Call on him honestly now, and notice how near he is to anyone who does.
