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.

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.
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.
Release Things to Me
You know what is good for you? Releasing things to Me to handle. There are so many situations and concerns that are not your responsibility to “fix”, no matter how well-intentioned you are. I see you trying hard to plan, forecast, and prepare for the yet-to-be-known. Take a deep breath, then exhale your imaginings about the future, blowing them in My direction. I am assisting in every situation, helping to bring about Goodness – I promise! Allow yourself to ponder only the present, and leave the future to Me. In practicing this you can find peace again.
Walk Humbly Yet Confidently
You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You can walk humbly yet confidently, knowing that I am aware of all you do. I deem you worthy and accomplished. Others already see your capability and respect you for it. It’s the deceiver trying to convince you otherwise, but you can recognize the falsehood in that way of thinking and not let undue anxiety take over. I’ve placed you exactly where you are needed today. Because I am with you and there for you, you can be at peace inside. You are loved and valued more than you can see right now. Work on trusting Me with this truth
Stay On Board
You have true purpose in this world. I am navigating the boat through murky waters for you. Stay on board and see where all of this leads. I’m taking you to new places, but you need not be anxious. Release your tendency to try and map everything out. Take the ride one day at a time, trusting that your future is safely in My hands.
Don’t Forget About Me
Don’t forget about Me. I know it’s easy to get caught up in thoughts and activities, inadvertently pushing awareness of Me to the back burner of your mind. Find ways to move Me to the front: notes, visual aides, intentional activities, and rituals help like lighting a candle or posting a note. The more you “invest” in awareness of Me and the help I have constantly available for you, the more calm and focused you’ll become as a result. Put Me in charge of your day, seeking to know, see, and experience all I have in store for you. Notice what this does to your Spirit, helping you manage anxiety. My aim is for Goodness and I long for you to partner with Me in every moment of it.
Regardless of What Others Think
Regardless of what others think or say about you, I know the truth. You are loved and treasured; holy and sacred in My sight. Run to Me when you are scared and start to doubt this inherent truth. Bring your anxiety before Me so I can help soothe your fears and realign your outlook. Look for My perspective of Goodness and follow after it. You can still be at peace even when your relationships are broken.
Full Plate
I see that full plate and calendar before you. It is, indeed, a lot to do. Take comfort in recognizing it is not yours alone to take care of. I am partnered with you the whole way! I also draw others in to help accomplish My divine mission, so be sure to include them by being invitational and trusting. That which is most necessary today will get done; you can safely release the rest. Use your faith in Me to walk peaceably through one thing at a time.
