Picture Me Making Things Better

Don’t underestimate My ability or power to heal. I change circumstances and move mountains of pride and hurt. Give Me the power to change your heart and mind. Relinquish your attempts to control situations or people, submitting to My will and My ways for you. Picture Me making things better when you hand your worries and frustrations over to Me. I am in your corner, and I want Good things in your life. You can trust Me.

Soften Up

Take time to relax and remember that I have you in the palm of My hands. Cling to Me as I work on washing away old hurts, making you impervious to them over time. I’m not One to ask you to “toughen up”. Rather, I want you to soften up on yourself. As you learn to cut yourself some slack, you will find it easier to accept others are they are, as well. You won’t be as susceptible to the sting of off-handed remarks that tend to hurt or offend you. There’s no need to feel defensive when your confidence and assurance lies with Me.

Waves of Anxiety or Hurt

Despite the ebbs and tides of your emotions, I am the Constant in your life. Look to Me for safety, shelter, and calming. If a wave of anxiety or hurt comes over you, remember that the tide will surely pull it back out to sea again, – away from you. It will not stay in place for long. Look for what is left for you to appreciate and observe in the tide pools. See new discoveries about yourself that hold true even after the worries of life recede. You’ll find playfulness, color, and new life darting about with joyful surprises in store.

Be a Blank Page

Today, try being a blank page. Go without an agenda, or pre-planning everything. Watch life and experiences unfold before you without the compulsion to be in charge or take over when others aren’t stepping forward. Give yourself the time and space to absorb My gifts to you. I’ll help you fill in the blanks, but for now I just want you to be observant. Open your eyes to all I have in store, and watch the colors I fill the page with.

Let Confidence Rule

Remember to concentrate only on today, recalling My assurance that you are right where I need you to be for today’s plan and purposes. When self-doubt tries to creep in and take over your mind, brush it away with a firm stance. Let confidence rule the day, embracing your assets and virtues instead of over-emphasizing minor flaws. Be the encourager, giving off your radiant and positive Light that shines from within. Others are drawn to this Light, and I need and want you at your brightest today.

Your True Value

You think I haven’t been speaking to you much lately, but this isn’t true. Every time you experience a nudge encouraging you to challenge your self-critical talk, it is my voice of loving reassurance telling you of your true value and worth. When you hear a gentle reminder of “do not fear”, it is Me saying, “I’ve got this”, “It’s not all up to you”, and “You aren’t in trouble”. When you are riddled with worry, turn to My face of love and concern for you. I have you cupped in the palm of My ever-capable hands. I delight in you! And I want only Good things for you, not dismay. Come to Me,- daily, hourly, – and see that all is and will be well; for I am yours and you are Mine.

Irritable Moments

I am with you every step of the way. I don’t call you to be perfect. You will have minor irritations in this world, which don’t make you a bad person. In these irritable moments, just pause and inhale deeply. Hear Me acknowledging, “I hear you. I know you. I get it.” Remember that this, too, shall pass. Perhaps through this internal dialogue with Me, the mere act of having Me validate your experience will be the calming effect you need to endure this short-term storm. Turn to Me to live with ease like that.

Your Busy Head

You are bright and beautiful. Your busy head spins with bright thoughts and dark ones intermingled, and hardly a quiet moment. Today, if you notice the cogs on that wheel working double-time, try shutting off the power and allow yourself to be still. Yes, – be still, and know that I am God. I love you just as you are. There’s no need to prove yourself through performance. Be still, and be reassured that all is well for everything beyond your control. I am working to relieve you and protect you from harm. I am trustworthy. Take heart in the stillness as you refocus and are revived.

On Managing Thoughts

You are so critical of your every thought. Sometimes thoughts enter our head that are completely fleeting and irrelevant or inaccurate. Just because a thought enters your mind doesn’t mean you are responsible for placing it there. Consider each thought and release it if it doesn’t align with who you are called to be or how you like to approach life. I’ll help you sort that out. In the meantime, work on recognizing that thought entries are beyond your control and not a sign of inherent goodness or badness. What you DO with them is what matters. Seek the heart of God in what you choose to keep your mindset on, and you can’t be steered wrong.
