‘Do not let your heart be discouraged’. Your emotions are real, and allowable. Difficult times will swell up now and then, and it’s reasonable and normal to feel things like distress, anxiety, sadness, or annoyance. By the phrase ‘do not let your heart be discouraged’, I am not saying don’t feel discouragement. Instead, I am guiding you to still acknowledge the truth of how you feel, but to also place it before Me to help you handle. I’m asking you to not let it rule your day or consume your thoughts. Instead, ‘let your heart be reassured’: I’m here, and I’m with you and for you, always.

Trusting & Believing In Your Goodness
Oftentimes, you hide deep self-criticism, disappointment, and inaccurate accusations against yourself in your thoughts. Your sincere desire to encourage, connect with, and uplift others should also be applied to your self-talk. Your passionate heart for equity and inclusion is super evident and others are drawn to you by it. That is the truth…not all the other anxious messages which try to erode your Light. Letting Me lead the way, use your time of interaction to be the Light I’ve designed and set in you, and don’t forget to enjoy it bouncing back as My Spirit dances from person to person.
Choose To Be Confident
As you work on believing in yourself, you will achieve greater things. My love for you is solid and steadfast. The way you use My gifts that are imbedded in your makeup will be enhanced when you choose to be confident, trusting My design of you and the plans for your day ahead. Relax into your various roles. You are the right person, at the right time. There is no need to panic or fear. All is right.
When Dread Creeps In
When dread creeps into your thoughts, that’s usually a sign of unfounded worry. Once the real event actually unfolds, you’ll see how My Goodness comes through. Glimpses of Me can show up in just a glance: a view from a car window as you drive; the lilt of someone’s laughter; a call or text that you weren’t expecting but brings delight. My Goodness is the reality and hope you can cling to. Anticipate positive things and feel that burden of anxiety lifted from your chest. I am here, making all things new.
Feeling Bad About Yourself
I see you feeling bad about yourself. I’m sorry that you struggle like this, and I compassionately hear every word of self-talk. When your spirit has been damaged or dejected, it’s easy to feel down. Try recognizing that this same spirit in you is part of Me, – resilient, kind, capable, and beautiful. That Spirit is bigger than any hurt. You can overcome any trial with Me as part of you. Be brave enough to love yourself even when misleading thoughts try to tell you otherwise. You, My Child, are lovely through and through. You are wonderful just as you are. Repeat that until it seeps into every corner and takes hold.
Just Show Up
I know you are tired, groggy, and unmotivated at times like this. I’m still here, though, – hanging out and waiting for you to look My way for support and strength. I can comfort you and give you drive. Rest in Me, finding your energy supply filling from My reservoir. Then, just show up. Things will unfold accordingly and you will both have and be enough to take on whatever comes your way.
Push the Pause Button
When you sit with Me, pushing the pause button on the rest of the day, it’s easier to experience how calming My Presence can be. Take the effort to pause, making the time to rest in My Light and comfort long enough to reassure you. No matter what lies ahead in this day or the next, you don’t have to live frantically driven by anxiety anymore. You can live cupped in the palm of My hands, steadying you and bracing you for the things you face. Gratitude will flow easily from this. No matter what, I’ll be there, giving exactly enough comfort and strength to accept and bear what is.
Anxiety Eats Up Energy
Days like this, -when you are aware of and trusting in Me – are glorious and a true blessing. I can do many things with, for, and through you when you are in a calmer state like this. Anxiety unnecessarily eats up energy and obstructs concentration. The opposite is resting in trust, confident that I am with and for you and “all is well”. Let that be today’s truth and cornerstone for you.
I Am Dedicated To You
You are Mine for all times. In sickness and in health; for richer or for poorer. Just like a marriage vow made in love, I am committed and dedicated to you. But unlike a marriage with its human ups and downs, – its flaws and passions and disappointments, – I am steadily present and constantly attentive to you. I am filled with desire for your well-being. Come to Me as your first love. Together we can be dedicated to loving ways in the world. Let Me show you support. In return, voice your commitment to Me and allow My love to heal your tender heart. You’ll receive My overwhelming love for you and find comfort and security in My Presence.
Be Exactly Who You Are
I ask you to be exactly who you are today. No false pretenses are needed. You can speak with confidence on topics you are familiar with. I know you can also listen attentively, attending well to others with genuine compassion and concern, because this is how I made you. You are right where you are supposed to be. Eat healthy, stay hydrated,- taking good care of the vessel I’ve designed. Throw any residual shame or anxiety out the window into the rubbish pile. There is no place for that negativity or worry here in My loving Presence.
