Afraid of Falling Short

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I see you working so hard to try to do everything “right”, yet feeling afraid that you are missing the mark or falling short. This couldn’t be further from the truth!  I never ask more of you than what you’ve already been equipped to give. When that inaccurately critical voice tries to overwhelm you with distorted self-evaluation, stop and face Me. Look to My gaze, so full of complete love, reassurance, forgiveness, and ultimate acceptance. That is the truth about you. You are loving, capable, and kind. Don’t let any little flaws or misperceptions try to convince you otherwise. I love you totally, and you are Mine for all of time.

Life is Meant for Connection

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve felt a little distant lately – from Me and from others, perhaps. Life is meant for connection. Draw closer to Me and you will find Me already with you. Reach out to others and they will want to connect back to you. There doesn’t have to be an agenda to just call or message someone who has been on your mind. When you are thinking about a person, reach out to them today. Don’t put it off. I nudge you this way and there will be Goodness that follows your actions.

You Are All the World Needs

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today, just “be”. Be still in your head and in your heart, trusting that the day will unfold just as it should. Lean into Me with trust and dependency, for I am a dependable companion. Don’t forget that I am also GOD. You don’t have to be in charge of every little detail. You cannot really control the outcomes, either. Just try to breathe and relax, knowing you’ve put your best foot forward and your best effort has already been invested. You are kind, caring, and compassionate, and you are all the world needs right where you find yourself every minute of this day. In other words, you are enough, loved and loveable, just as you are.

That Place of Familiarity

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

We are not strangers. I am intimately familiar with you, and I know your every thought, wish, and ache. You know Me, too. Deep inside, you know to trust Me and you strive to be more like Me. Talk to Me from that place of deep familiarity today. Bring Me into your decisions, actions, and conversations. Look at Me when things get resolved or when they turn out well. Acknowledge that I am a part of all Good things. Trust Me even with the tensions, hurts, and disappointments, for I am with you as you experience them. I am that familiar God who truly cares and heals.

Stop Doubting Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The work for today is clear; that is all you need to see at this time. I have blessed your surroundings. I have equipped you with all you need; no more, no less. I am in charge. Stop doubting yourself; it is a waste of energy. I don’t drive a cruel labor force. Let your work effort be genuine and of a pure heart, and this will definitely be enough. I will walk together with you.

Let Yourself Be Small

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know how I long for you to be at peace. The easiest and most direct way to get there is sitting before Me and handing everything over with trust in My godly care for your every concern and need. I’ve got this. Breathe in My ultimate and constant love for you. Stop trying to figure out everything that ails you or causes your jaw to clench. Try to stop the incessant planning and imagining what you picture needs to happen. Instead, relax your face. Cry if you need to. Please, just let Me love on you for a while. Let yourself be small, cupped in My attentive Greatness, and find the peace you desire.

I Will See It Through

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have things all laid out. Come to Me and you’ll find rest. I have begun a good work using you and will see it through to completion. I promise that you will have enough energy and stamina to get it all done; just open your eyes to the beauty around you any time you start feeling anxious. I am here. I will guide your steps and your words. May bitterness and anxiety fall away as you remember that you have holy hands and feet, and Goodness will flow from your efforts.

Wounded Pride

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are doing your best. I see that. I know how the words of others have wounded your pride, though. I need you to move on. Don’t let these slights and mishaps shape who you are. I can even help you muster up being humble and kind toward them. Your forgiving stance will speak to others in unseen ways. Don’t fall prey to thinking you have to punish others. Instead, be the kind of person who can make this hurt be healed. I will help you be stronger as a result.

What to Attend to

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be an observer today. Take notice of others, your surroundings and also of yourself. Notice your physical reactions, – aches, pains, and thoughts, – without judging them as “good” or “bad”. As you take stock of things, I will help you determine what needs action and what to attend to first. The rest can wait. I want your wellness as much as you do. By being observant, accepting, and kind toward yourself it will help you do so with others, as well. I need you in this day, and you need Me to help figure out what to do with whatever is in front of you. Let’s enter it hand in hand.

Whatever is Needed is Doable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Whatever is needed from you today is doable. I make all things work together for Good. I won’t ask more of you than what you can truly handle. Try not to look at the day ahead measuring your energy and strength against what you think it’ll take to get through. You can trust that I’ll equip you with enough stamina, and then-some. Look for ways to partner with others and share the load when the opportunity arises, too. Remember, it’s not all up to you. My hand is at work. Don’t let yourself be intimidated by anything I place before you. Believe in how capable you are.
