hiding

i have been hiding, really. Hiding behind my television, behind my family, behind myself. And amidst all this hiding i know that God desires those quiet times with me and that he sees me, but shame and fear and a lukewarm heart drives a wedge into my relationships, both with God and with other people. so this is my prayer: Oh Lord, would you take away the idols in my life that i turn to, and instead of hiding in them, that i would hide in you. take away all the safety nets that aren't found in You. i pray for prayer, for grace, for a stirring of my heart that only You can do. For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb, and all the days of my life are in your hands.

You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
with songs of deliverance
whenever I am afraid
I will trust in you
I will trust in you

Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength
of the Lord
I will trust in you
