First, I have to see that I've fallen out of my bubble...
Recently, as a long time, born again believer, I found myself overwhelmed by fear and anxiety, I reached out to my dear friend asking her to pray for and preach to me, the first part of her reply was beautiful:
Thank You Lord that You are the Divine Engineer of all of our circumstances! It is Your will that we should be conformed to the image of Your Son, and You will not rest until it is so. Thank You for Your grace and mercy and patience that have continued to encourage Merri to come away with You and let You deal with her. Father, we confess that we don't know You well enough and that we trust ourselves far too much. We listen to the enemy and then Your voice is drowned out. Forgive us Lord and lift us out of the pit. ~ C.A.T.S.

As I read this, I was immediately washed with peace. I had lost my focus and was reacting to lies. I saw an impenetrable bubble running along a track, just for me. My feet were still connected to the track, but I had fallen and was hanging upside down, the bubble waiting above me. The minute the image flashed across my mind, I was swung back up into perfect safety. This is where I belong and from here I can make sound decisions and live in complete freedom from all kinds of fears.
