If you are a Christian, how many people have you shared Jesus with?
I will pray with you and the Almighty God will give you wings to fly.
As for those who are not born again, cry unto Jesus, He will lift you up and give you a new life. Cry to Him now and say Jesus l want to stop running, l want to be a high flyer, rescue me from satan and l will serve you for the rest of my life.
Spend some quality time tonight repenting from hiding, God will give you wings to be flying for Him and He will grant your request in Jesus name.
