The Hidden Place

The hidden place, the secret place, where I dwell with my God in my spirit,
Is where I desire to make my home.

It is here that I remain stable, not insecure, anxious, or fearful.

It is here I know I can lean on my God, and know that He will deliver me.
Deliver me from the subtle attacks of  fear, worry and frustration,
Deliver me from the deadness of the world and unbelief.

Here I can hide, under the wings of the Almighty God.
His truth will shield me here,
His faithfulness will form a wall of protection around me here.

Here I am safe from the terror and the panic of darkness.
The evil plots and the slander of the world may attempt an arrow,
     but it cannot enter my shield of truth.

I do not have to be afraid of the "what ifs" of tomorrow.
My Father is beside me, He is in control, He loves me.

I choose to trust Him,
Even when others are falling around me.

Here I can experience peace instead of fear,
                                  joy instead of mourning,
                                  hope instead of despair.

Here with You, I discover, explore, trust, and receive.

Your angels are surrounding me, defending me, protecting me.
This protection gives me power and authority to tread in enemy territory and overcome.

Out of the abundance of Your outpouring love, You set up this provision for me.
Your righteousness, love, and patience paint their picture as I abide here.

You always hear me,
You always answer me,
You always love on me,
In this secret place, rich with treasure and delight.

I want to stay!

Psalms 91
