When we go to bed at night, we usually cover ourselves with a blanket, thereby actively creating a state and an environment in which we can relax. The primary purpose of a blanket is to keep us warm during the physically passive resting phase. But it is more than that. It is also a means of providing us with comfort and protection, which also helps us in the active process of relaxation. Being able to cover yourself in this way is also an expression of the fact that you feel safe and protected from the outside world, and that this protection is so reliable that you can relax and find sleep and let go completely. There is a story in the Bible in which Jesus sleeps in the middle of a storm at sea while his friends row for their lives. Jesus knew that his heavenly Father's reliable, protective blanket of love would sustain his life, no matter how threatening the circumstances. Is this trust also familiar to you?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
