“You Are my hiding place”
As we come close to the end of our series, I want to share another one of my favorite worship songs. “You Are My Hiding Place” by the group Selah is a song that reminds me again that God is not distant or indifferent; He is a refuge, a safe place in the middle of life’s fiercest storms. The very title comes alive in Psalm 32:7:
You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah. Psalm 32:7
This song speaks of the God who shelters us when fear tries to overwhelm, when the enemy whispers lies, when hurt and anger try to hold our souls in bondage. It doesn’t promise that trouble won’t come but that God Himself will be our covering when it does.
Today, I’m so thankful for a God who is my hiding place. On the days when fear crushed my spirit, when hurt made my heart ache, and when anger seemed stronger than peace, He covered me. His presence steadied my shaking soul. His love quieted the storm inside. His peace became my song.
Just as the psalmist ran to God when the waves rose, so have I learned to run not in fear, but in faith. And in that secret place with Him, I’ve felt strength rise in weakness, courage in doubt, and joy in surrender.
And so, whenever you are facing those though battles just take breath, close your eyes and let your heart be reminded of your hiding place in God's loving arms.
A Prayer for Your Soul
Heavenly Father,
Thank You that You are our hiding place, our refuge, our strength, and our song of deliverance. When fear tries to overwhelm us, remind our hearts of Your promises. When the enemy threatens our peace, shelter us under Your wings.
Surround us with Your presence and fill us with songs of hope that only You can give.
Lord, may we trust You more each day not in our own strength, but in Yours. May Your Word be our comfort, Your Spirit be our guide, and Your love be the shelter where our souls find rest.
We surrender every fear, every burden, and every hurt into Your hands. Teach us to live each moment rooted in You, and may our lives like this song reflect Your faithfulness in every season.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
