A daily place to be with God
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8
Bring what is on your heart. Companion answers from the Bible, so that you can take it back to the LORD in prayer.
Companion is not God and not a pastor. It answers from the Bible and public-domain Christian writings, so that you can take everything back to the LORD in prayer.
How this works
A question about a passage, a worry you keep carrying, a thanksgiving, a name you want to pray for. Plain words are enough.
It brings you to the Bible’s own words and to what faithful Christians have written, and it tells you plainly when a question is beyond it. It is not God, and it is not a pastor.
Everything here is meant to end in prayer. Close the page, open your Bible, and speak with the God who is near to all who call on Him.

About the name Yahweh
“This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.”
Yahweh is the personal name God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Most English Bibles print it as the LORD in capitals. This site carries the name because the whole point of it is to draw near to the God who gave His name so that His people could call on Him.
Companion is not that God and never speaks as Him. It is a companion at your side that keeps pointing you back to His Word.
