Hidden spaces

When the distance is fair! The Heart — Healing in the Hidden Places Day 18 — May 18 · Podcast Script WELCOME Hi my love… welcome back. Take a deep breath in… and let it go. Day 18. And today we are going somewhere that most people never let anyone go. Today we are talking about the hidden places. The parts of your heart that you have never shown anyone. The rooms you keep locked not out of deception but out of self-protection. The wounds that are so deep and so private that even your prayers about them have been careful — measured — as though you were not quite sure God could handle the full weight of them. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION & SCRIPTURE Today's affirmation is: The Heart — Healing in the Hidden Places. And our scripture comes from Psalm 139:23–24: "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23–24 Let that be your prayer today… search me. All of me. Even the parts I have been keeping hidden. REFLECTION The hidden places are not hidden from God. That is the first thing to understand. There is no locked room in your heart that He has not already seen. No buried wound He is unaware of. No secret grief that escaped His attention. He has always known. And He has always been near — even in the places you have kept most carefully sealed. But healing in the hidden places requires your permission. Not because God is waiting for an invitation to care — He has always cared. But because healing is not done to you. It is done with you. And the most hidden places require the most intentional opening — the most deliberate, sometimes terrifying decision to say — God I am going to let You in here. To this place. The one I have never let anyone touch. That is the prayer of Psalm 139. Search me. Know my anxious thoughts. See the offensive ways — the hidden bitterness, the buried shame, the secret agreements with worthlessness that have been living in the dark for too long. And lead me — from those hidden places — into the way everlasting. The everlasting way is on the other side of the hidden places being healed. And you are ready to go there. POWER TALK The most profound healing happens in the places nobody else sees. Tell someone today that it is safe to let God into the rooms they have kept locked. He is not shocked by what is in there. He is not disappointed. He is not waiting to condemn. He is waiting to heal. And what He heals in the hidden places becomes the foundation of a freedom that is visible to everyone. NAME OF GOD TO STUDY TODAY El Deah — The God of Knowledge. He knows every hidden place. Every buried thought. Every locked room. And His knowledge of those places is not clinical or distant — it is intimate and tender. He knows you completely and loves you completely. Those two things are never in conflict with each other. REPEAT AFTER ME • I give God permission to search my hidden places. • I open the rooms I have kept locked — not in fear but in faith. • He already knows what is there and He loves me completely. • Healing is happening in my hidden places right now. • I am led from the hidden into the everlasting. • I am fully known and I am fully loved. Open the rooms today, my love. All of them. He is the safest One who has ever asked for access. Thank you so much for spending this moment with me.
