I’m so glad you’re here!
My hope is that Abide in the Secret Place will become a little community of believers from around the world, encouraging one another to seek Jesus, grow in His Word, and deepen our personal relationship with Him.
I’d love for us to learn from one another as we journey together in knowing Him more deeply.

One of the greatest joys of writing these reflections has been hearing how God’s Word has encouraged, challenged, or spoken to your hearts.
Over the years, many of you have reached out to me personally through emails, WhatsApp messages, and conversations. Some of you have also entrusted me with your prayer requests. I am deeply touched by these messages and grateful for the trust you have placed in me.
But there is something else I would love to see grow here.
I would love for us to encourage one another, even though we may live in different countries, come from different backgrounds, and be at different stages in our walk with Jesus.
Perhaps something the Lord has been teaching you through His Word might be just what another believer, somewhere on the other side of the world, needs to hear.
So, if a reflection has encouraged you, challenged you, or prompted you to seek the Lord more deeply, would you consider sharing your thoughts in the comments section beneath that post?
You don’t need to have profound insights or perfectly formed thoughts. Sometimes a simple reflection, a question, or a Scripture that has spoken to your heart can encourage someone else tremendously.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.”
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
And of course, if you would prefer to share something privately, whether a personal reflection, a question, or a prayer request, you are always welcome to write to me.

I genuinely look forward to hearing from you, learning from you, and discovering how we might encourage one another to grow in our love for Jesus.
May our conversations always lead us back to Him, to His Word, and to the joy of spending time in His presence.
With love and blessings,
Helga
