I don't feel safe in very many places anymore.
I don't feel safe in my home.
I don't feel safe at ARP.
I don't feel safe on vacation.
I don't feel safe at work.
I don't even feel safe to blog anymore.
The only two places I have felt completely safe lately are in my therapist's office and the Bishop's office.
Where do you go to be safe?
I am so sad to hear that honey, we all want to feel safe. Try and find somewhere, anywhere where you can be in the Saviour's arms - he is our safety. Love you xxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you aren't feeling the safety you need :( I echo Annie above. In times where I have felt similar (like getting triggered like crazy in ARP meetings), I would kneel and pray until I felt like I was encircled in His arms. Sometimes I would even tell Him, I'm not going anywhere until I feel what I need. Every time it came, not always immediately, but it came.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you, Seattle :)
Jack! That's it. I don't always comment on the comments on my blog, but your comment just kind of clicked for me. I have been having such a hard time praying lately--lack of desire, and lack of feeling/hearing anything when I pray, and lack of wanting to hear something sometimes.
DeleteBut maybe I need to stick around and be stubborn (or committed enough) to praying until I feel that familiar feeling of comfort/instruction that I have felt before just like you said.
I feel safe with my cats on my bed. I feel safe reading a good book/the scriptures. I feel safe when I let go and let God (which I really need to work on).
ReplyDeletePraying for you!
I feel safe in my Bishop's office, therapists office, and the Temple. Because those are the places I AM safe. I am in the same boat as you. But, I have learned to find safety within myself, as I set healthy boundaries and rely on the Lord. So long as I keep Him with me, He keeps me safe.
