Get Back To The Secret Place: He Longs To Speak To You

What if the most transformative spiritual practice isn't doing more, but simply being present? In this heart-to-heart episode of Faith Bits, we explore the often-forgotten art of returning to "the secret place" with God.

Many believers have inadvertently replaced relationship with religion, operating from fear, perfectionism, or the need for recognition rather than love. This subtle shift undermines the very purpose of our faith journey. When we pause to sit in God's presence without agenda, something remarkable happens—we position ourselves to hear what He's speaking over us, spirit to spirit.

The secret place looks different for everyone. Sometimes we weep as divine love touches our deepest wounds. Other times, we experience what I call "giddy joy"—that unexplainable bubbling up of delight that can only be attributed to God's presence. I share my own recent experience of approaching God with a burdened mind only to leave with unexpected joy. These aren't emotional manipulations but genuine encounters with a God who delights in His children.

Our spiritual disciplines—prayer, fasting, church attendance—were never meant to be boxes to check but pathways to intimacy. Without relationship as both foundation and goal, they become empty religious exercises. Today's invitation is simple yet profound: return to the secret place, let go of your burdens, and allow God to minister to your heart. In His presence is fullness of joy, freedom from fear, and the peace that transcends understanding. Ready to reconnect with the heart of your faith? Your secret place awaits.
