“Your wraparound presence becomes my shield as I wrap myself in your Word!” (Psalm 119:114 TPT)
ThunderShirts are designed to help calm dogs who get nervous during thunderstorms and fireworks. These jackets swaddle the pet with a gentle compression which eases their anxiety. Weighted blankets have a similar effect on humans who suffer from anxiety and insomnia. The consistent pressure can put a person’s autonomic nervous system into rest mode, alleviating stress. Although it sounds counterintuitive, the sensation of heaviness can be soothing and relaxing.
The Spirit of God can be comforting like a weighted blanket. The heaviness feels calming and grounding. God’s wraparound presence can be a shield against anxiety. Unlike a heavy blanket, the Word of God is portable, accessible, and available to everyone. In order to be enveloped in this spiritual assurance, all we have to do is intentionally place our minds under the power of the Almighty.
