My Secret Hiding Place

B"H (B'ezrat HaShem - with the help of HaShem). "HaShem, G-d of hosts, happy is the man who trusts only in You! HaShem, merciful G-d, save us! O King, answer us on the day we call! You alone are my secret hiding place!" (The Breslov Siddur, Weekday, p179). This part of the prayer service establishes HaShem alone as my secret hiding place. If we accept this, and if we believe in the importance of this, then we must consider how to apply that. I would surmise that we each have such a place. A secret hiding place where we can escape the challenges of life, the often-overwhelming aura of the world. A place we can visit even in the midst of a crowd. Where that place is, is unique to each person. Some may seek just another worldly place to escape, but as you know, even the temporary escape is not lasting. Whereas, a secret hiding place that includes HaShem, will last even beyond the time spent there. In sharing this, I hope and pray it will be useful for others in their journey toward HaShem. To realize that all the other things in life one has tried, provide only temporary satisfaction. Maybe there will be something to share with others; useful in a discussion group; or someone else's secret hiding place. This is written from a personal Jewish/Noahide perspective without the idolatry of xianity or any religion (note: Judaism isn't a religion, it's a covenant with HaShem). At the end, there are resources for additional research and growth. Baruch HaShem!
