Your Weariness Needs Attention

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Why do you berate yourself so much? Nothing you have done will make Me turn My back on you. Breathe in My light by closing your eyes and becoming aware of My constant, loving companionship. I cherish you! Your weariness needs to be attended to. Find rest and store up trust for the days ahead. As you become more practiced in the art of releasing concerns and worries to Me, you will find I attend to each item and this allows you to rest even more deeply and thoroughly. Both rest and action must be honored for your spiritual growth.

Lost in a Sea of Needless Worry

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you are lost in a sea of needless worry, come into My arms. Be comforted and reassured. My love is real, My plans are good, and you needn’t be so afraid and worked up. Don’t be fooled by the misguided belief that things are “all up to you” to do, fix, or accomplish. Rest in My arms of reassurance until your fragile spirit is completely recovered. Remain close to My side with each step you take and lean in as needed for support. Things will work out; you can trust Me.

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.

Give Room to Pause

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Walk with Me at My pace. Let things slow down a bit and give room to pause now and then. Take a break from noise, electronics, and social media. Look outdoors. Breathe in the stillness and calm. You are so hard-wired to be doing things all the time, but I tell you it’s OK and good to NOT “do” for a while. You are learning the beauty and importance of mastering this skill. Just be and soak it all in with amazement and wonder. Notice the calming effect this has on you and your perspective. Grace-filled moments are all around, so be replenished as life and next steps unfold.

Reach for My Hand to Steady You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me: I am with you, never leaving your side. I am not distant. Stop all this striving on your own and reach for My hand to steady you. I will guide you away from the cliff’s edges. You don’t have to be afraid of the heights. Let’s stand and together enjoy the marvelous view instead of worrying about your footing. Don’t forget to look up now and then on your walk, and take notice of the good things along the way instead of always calculating the distance or amount of difficulty you imagine it will take. Even if a calamity or stress tries to threaten your wellbeing, all is actually well.

Allow an Interchange of Light and Peace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Texture and color are all part of My design. I appeal to ALL of the senses. That’s why many find it easier to see or experience Me in nature or art, – even in the softness of a pet. Meet Me today however it is clearest for you. Walk with Me or just gaze at My creation, allowing an interchange of Light and peace. See the Light through the trees. Acknowledge and notice how I bring peace with you wherever you go. When you carry My Presence within, this can have a calming effect on those around you. Light meets Light in those encounters.

Down Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today, pay attention to the gift of “down time”. I generously carve out pockets of time with fewer demands so that you can refocus and rejuvenate. It’s important to let go of the constant pressure to perform. I call you away from this anxious lifestyle to find better balance. Allow yourself to just “be”. Soak in what you see, hear, or taste in the moment. Stay with Me a while in this palace of peace and mindfulness. Observe how calming this is, and how much better you function when you take time out to be still, – even if just for a few moments each day.

My Voice Amidst the Clammer

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I designed you to be capable of many thoughts. Your head is often so full that it gets difficult to find Me in there, too, but I am there…whispering reassurance and providing moments of clarity. I give you suggestions and things to consider. Listen for My voice amidst the clammer, telling you that you are loved, wanted, appreciated, and MINE. I am never going to reject you. Never ever. Stop worrying about pleasing or impressing others. It is inherently part of your nature to attend to many people. In fact, this is so ingrained that you rarely notice the number of lives you impact in a day. Your walk with Me is true and pure in its intent, so you needn’t be so critical of yourself. I am well pleased with you. Start your day allowing yourself to fully receive this message.

Releasing Disappointment and Anger

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is better to acknowledge your disappointment and anger, thereby allowing it to be loosened and released quickly. Holding those feelings in or trying to deny them is never healthy. You know that you don’t need to remain under the grip of fleeting feelings like that, because I am a trustworthy God who is ever-present in times of trouble and beyond. Lean into Me when the driving force of emotional winds are strong. I will keep you upright and level-headed, leading you to the stillness outside of its path.

Hopeful Plans For You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Whenever a new year arises, people tend to reflect on where they’ve been and possibilities for where they are going. Be cautious about getting caught up in old ruts where your tires spin in the mud of regret. Also watch out for fear-based projections about what is around the corner,  anticipating that things won’t turn out as you would like or will be too hard to manage. Neither of these things are true. I am a loving God with hopeful plans in store for you. I’ll carry you through hard times and open doors for Good things to arrive in your life and in the lives of those you care about. Choose to concentrate on living fully present in today, and hand Me your past and future. This is how you build new habits of peace of mind.
