Have you ever tried to distance yourself from someone you’ve wronged—dodging interactions, avoiding gatherings, or putting on a smile while hiding the discomfort inside? “Are You Hiding?” explores the spiritual tendency we all share: hiding from God when we know we've fallen short. Through the lens of Adam and Eve’s story in Genesis, this devotional reminds us that God doesn’t abandon us in our shame—He comes looking for us with love, not condemnation.

This message is for anyone who has drifted from God, avoided spiritual disciplines, or felt too ashamed to draw near again. God is not hiding from you—He’s calling your name.


Highlights

  • Hiding from God is a deeply human response to sin, rooted in fear and shame (Genesis 3:10).

  • We may avoid Scripture, church, or prayer, thinking we can escape conviction—but God always sees us and still desires relationship.

  • Even when we distance ourselves, God pursues us, calling out just as He did in the Garden: “Where are you?”

  • Like the prodigal son (Luke 15), restoration comes not through hiding, but in returning with a surrendered heart.

  • Fig leaves of distraction—our modern ways of covering sin—can’t replace the healing power of repentance and grace.

  • When we stop running and respond to God, He covers our shame with love, mercy, and forgiveness.

Are You Hiding?

By Megan J. Conner

“When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the LORD God among the trees.

Then the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.”

Gen. 3:8-10 (NLT)
