I woke in the night. I felt panic and anxiety over me. Nothing had provoked this, but here it was. I laid in bed, in the state between being awake and asleep. I began to pray and suddenly I saw a bundle of balloons. I thought, “I pop the balloon of anxiety and release it to You, God.”
This caused a beautiful feeling of release and a feeling of being lighter.
Strange because balloons normally lift up…pull up. Yet, these balloons I saw were somehow weighing me down.
So, I popped another and called it the balloon of fear…then another and another…listing off negative emotions that came to mind.
It was a powerful release.
I find it increasingly interesting the way God speaks to me in dreams and in the state between sleep and wake. Both times that my mind is in a more rested and neutral space. A place where I can receive.
I encourage you to find space for you to come to the Lord and pop the balloons that are weighing down your life. Unlike normal balloons that would lift you up…these balloons create a weight…a hindrance.
Go before the Lord, ask Him to reveal to you the weighted balloons in your life. Then simply pop them.
Only God can explain how these things work. I only know that it does work.
I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of Your faithfulness. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens. The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, My chosen servant. I have sworn this oath to him: ‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever; they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” All heaven will praise Your great wonders, Lord; myriads of angels will praise You for Your faithfulness. For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord? What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord? The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround His throne. O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as You, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. You rule the oceans. You subdue their storm-tossed waves. You crushed the great sea monster. You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm. The heavens are Yours, and the earth is Yours; everything in the world is Yours- You created it all. You created north and south. Mount Tabor and Mount Hermon praise Your name. Powerful is Your arm! Strong is Your hand! Your right hand is lifted high in glorious strength. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before You as attendants. Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of Your presence, Lord. They rejoice all day long in Your wonderful reputation. They exult in Your righteousness. You are their glorious strength. It pleases You to make us strong. Yes, our protection comes from the Lord; and He, the Holy One of Israel, has given us our king. Psalm 89:1-18
