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

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

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

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.

So You Can Breathe Easier

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am your God, and able to be sovereign over your life in Good ways if you let Me. Allow Me the authority to help shape your thoughts and guide your actions today. Find how freeing it is to let go of all the things you think you can or should try to control, and instead watch with curiosity to see how I make things turn out when you give me free reign. You have the power to do that in your own mind and heart. Let Me in and allow Me to take over for a change so you can breathe easier. I love you and I desire to give you peace.

Build Calmness Into Your Day

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to be so rushed. There are ways to build calmness into your day, and into your head and heart. Choose to sit still, closing your eyes if you can, and concentrate on slow, deep breathing. Notice the Light pouring into your eyes, even through closed lids. Repel thoughts of tasks waiting to be done, deflecting them out of your mind intentionally as you seek My calming Presence. Soak it in. Repeat these mantras until My truth settles in: All is well. I am yours. Hear My voice.

Unexpected Turns

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Days like this are all part of My wonderful design. Soak in the freedom to breathe, plan, be active, and laugh. It’s okay to not have everything mapped out. Sometimes the quirky turns of the unexpected are exactly where My blessing lives. Act upon instinct with exuberance and don’t be afraid to initiate big things. I give you these imaginings so that you can bear My fruit. I love it when you live joyfully; your passion is contagious and is meant to uplift the spirit of others, so hear My call to spread good news of great joy.
