"The LORD God then called to the man and asked him: Where are you? He answered, "I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid."" Genesis 3:9-10
God calls to the man: "Where are you?" Hiding from God and fear did not enter the world until we sinned. An all knowing God, sees all, yet we hide thinking that we will not be found out. Yet God comes looking for us, He doesn't let us continue to hide. Facing one's fear is the only way to overcome them. God is there to help, thru confession and a daily dialogue with Him. It is something that we have to work at. God's plan was for peace and unity, yet our sinful ways disrupts that plan. In the words of Jesus: "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."" Luke 10:27. In doing what God tells us to do, our fears go away, our peace returns and we walk with God each day, just as He had planned. Confession is key to the soul.

What is God saying to me: fear can not exist in my creation when doing My will.
Dear Father, help us see what Your will is for each of us. Help us feel the love that You have and the concern You have when we are lost or in hiding. Help us see how important confession is to reuniting Your creation to the body of Christ. I pray that men answer the call and lead their families as You have intended. I thank You for the women who are willing to be one with their husbands. Thank You for breath in my lungs and a desire in my heart to know You. This I ask in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Mother of All, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
