“I am the First and the Last; there is no other God.
Isaiah 44:6
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.
Genesis 3:8

1 John 4:18
Lord God, we admit that sometimes we are afraid of you. We hide from your presence and cower in fear—behind our work, behind our piety, behind our self-righteousness. Amen.
