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.

Not In Your Hands

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I need you. I need you to be well, too. Pull in the reins and remember that I reign. I am fully in charge of your life. Abide in Me as you have been. I want your inner peace and to show you treasures not of this world. Your trust and learning that it is not in your own hands to resolve can bring inner peace and calm. Your faith can be a great example to others, too. Where you are is nowhere near “desperate”, and I won’t even let you get close to that. You will survive whatever storm is coming your way, using confidence and My vision. Work hard, but also release your work to Me so you can relax. My gift to you will be a deep well of inner peace.

Stop Doubting Yourself

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.

Shut Down the Anxious Thoughts

I am here. Truly here. Take a deep breath and shut down the anxious thoughts for a second. Relax your face and jaw and stop the constant pressure of forecasting your day. Everything will come together. Whatever doesn’t get done can wait for another day. I know this, and you can rely on Me to help organize, prioritize or set things aside. Breathe again- allowing My calming balm to ease your tension and remove some of that stress. Take My offering of peace of mind into your regimen, for this gift is available 24/7.

When life feels overwhelming, I want you to be gentler with yourself. Come to Me for kind reassurance.

I never leave your side.

Love Language in Self-Talk

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

A new day is dawning. I have things for you to do in it which you are uniquely designed to handle well. Take stock in how you are treating yourself during your self-talk. Be kind and encouraging to yourself, believing in My Good plans and your capacity to fulfill them. If you catch yourself using demeaning or anxiety-producing language, stop and return to Me for reassurance. I can help rewrite those scripts. Use a language of love when talking to yourself today and don’t settle for anything less. It will have a far reach when you do, because it spills over into loving conversation with others, as well.

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.

Familiar Places of Hurt

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am familiar with all the places you hurt and all the things that stir up your anxiety. Come to Me anyway, even though things don’t feel great all the time. Come to Me and find that just for a moment, perhaps, all feels well and manageable. Allow that glimmer of hope to squeak through the cracks of those hard, cold walls of pain or fear. Whisper this truth: I am with you in all things. Nothing will be too much to bear. Let Me comfort you with an attentive reassurance that you are never, ever alone in your suffering.

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.

Where I Am Taking You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you are tired of the car ride with me right now. I see how easily you feel discouraged or crushed in spirit when things aren’t working the way you think they should. I know you sometimes wonder, “Where are you taking me?” and may want to ask Me, “Can I stop the car for a while, or get off at the nearest exit?” I will take over the driver’s seat when you let Me. I have the map, and I’ll provide all the fuel you will need to keep going on this ride. You can trust where I am taking you, even if you cannot see the destination right now. Just knowing we are together in the car will help you manage. You can trust My driving.
