Have you found your safe space?
When you are feeling anxious, scared or overwhelmed, do you have a place to go to find solace, recharge, and reconnect with yourself?
Do you go to your bedroom? The back yard? Call up a loved one? Pray in the car? Utilize a breathing exercise?
The mental health community encourages the importance of creating an inner safe space.
Care-Clinics.com says “A safe space is a physical or mental environment where you feel comfortable, secure, and free from judgment or external pressures. It’s a sanctuary where you can be yourself, express your thoughts and emotions, and engage in self-care activities without fear or distraction."
The ✨beautiful✨ truth is, if you have placed your trust in God as your Heavenly Father, He has promised to be:
your safe place,
your refuge,
your hiding place,
and your shelter to run to.
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord. He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”
Psalm 91:1-4 NLT
Isn’t it amazing to know that as a daughter of God, no matter where you find yourself, you have not just a safe place to run, but THE SAFEST PERSON in all of the universe to run to.
You can run to Him because He fully understands who you are, what your dreams and desires are, and what you fear and worry about. You can run to Him for shelter because loves you, just as a child who is hurt runs to the safety and comfort of a parent.
So friend, where in your life right now do you need to be rescued and feel solace and safety?
Run to the Lord God for protection, comfort and safety.
