Peaceful Presence Between Each Breath

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have much to teach you about finding peace and comfort. Life certainly causes all sorts of pain: emotionally, physically, socially. The thing about My peace, though, is it is available even in the midst of really hard things. When life’s circumstances hurt or scare you, draw in to hear My voice. I love you and I am with you. Healing can and will come. Inhale confidence and exhale doubt. Find My Peace through awareness of My constant loving Presence between each breath.

Peace In Between the Breaths

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is healthy to carve out time to sit with Me. I want you to concentrate on inhaling and exhaling, trying to find that space in between breaths where life’s planning and busy-ness escapes your mind. Be fully aware of My Presence there. This may be disconcerting at first, but over time with this practice you will find you long for this place of light, comfort, and love. It is available all day and every day, any moment you need it. I am with you and for you, offering peace and healing in the rhythm of your breaths.

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.

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.

Everything Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

Soak in the Light today. Get outdoors and breathe in My glorious fresh air. Enjoy the opportunity to move about without worry or undue stress. You know “hard”. You’ve been through a lot. Everything doesn’t have to be hard, though. Be rejuvenated by taking a breath and knowing I am with you, recovering Good out of all you’ve endured and bringing you to a new day.

Annoyance, Judgement and Criticism

/ Martha York / 4 Comments

I love you even when you are annoyed and angry and your face scrunches up with visible disdain or criticism toward others. This doesn’t make you a “bad person”. I still love you, even then. With that said, I also want you to bring those annoyances, judgements, and criticism of others and lay it all at My feet. Release your thoughts into My capable, problem-solving hands. Inhale forgiveness and fresh perspective. What if I tell you I need those people right where they are and I want you right there with them? I have My reasons, which you cannot always see. Inhale trust for My design at work; exhale a greater acceptance of others, because all belong to Me equally.

Unplanned Changes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When your routine gets shifted due to circumstances beyond your control, turn to face Me. Let My gaze reassure you that everything will still be okay. You don’t have to be anxious in response. I will usher you in the new direction, never leaving your side. I will help steady your feet and your reactions. Breathe and find calm within you where My spirit resides to help keep you grounded. Trust that you can adjust to unplanned changes because I will always be there to help.

Step Back and Be Calmed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you find yourself in a place where you are super worked up about something, it is probably time to step back. Remove yourself and check your thoughts to see if you are being tripped up by thinking “it’s all up to me” to handle or fix or address. That simply isn’t true. I am your God. I am sovereign over all things. Step back until you can see and be reminded of this deep truth: that as your God, I am with you and looking out for you. Maybe I only need you to show up and offer your presence, because I’ll handle the rest. Leave any “fixing” up to My capable hands. I want you to find peace again, not living agitatedly with anxious and stress-filled approaches. Step back, breathe, and be calmed by how I am at work in your life.

Quiet the Chatter Inside Your Head

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can live calmly and grounded. It takes conscious effort, though, to push aside distractions and quiet the chatter inside your head. So much of what spins in there is just imagined scenarios that never come into fruition. Ground yourself in the here and now. Stop, take a breath, and look around you – observing color or sounds in this present moment. Appreciate the gift of time slowing down when you hone in on My Presence with you right here, right now. Be at ease as you trust in My Goodness. I am looking out for you, always.

Available Moment by Moment

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Just because you are taking on new tasks does not mean you have to lose contact with Me. Moment by moment, I am available to you. Find true quiet moments, – at the table, in the shower or car, wherever you can remember to stop and pause, – and make yourself open to Me. This quiet, genuine communion will have a powerful impact, because it’s a union that no other can destroy. Our connectivity will be warm, understanding, and patient. It is welcoming and inviting, grounded in love. Find how calming it is to be attentive to our deep connectedness. Breathe in deep drafts of My love for you and find healing and freedom in our relationship. I desire to bless you daily with this kind of help. Seek Me and find Me with you.
