Take It Easier Today

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

You have no idea what I’m up to. That’s because you are designed to live in 24-hour increments only. Any more than that is too much to bear, and I am preparing you day by day for what is in store. Take it easier today, living in simple trust of My good plan unfolding just as it needs to. Take things one day at a time and try not to worry about tomorrow. Step confidently into today knowing I am by your side at all times and you can trust Me. You needn’t carry worry about anything bigger than that right now.

I Am Your Protector & Healer

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Oh, my anxious one! How I long to scoop you up into My arms like a little lamb, shaking in the dark and cold world. I am your protector and healer. The Light of day is coming soon and will shed new perspective for you. You can trust Me and My plans for Good things to come. I will not let you down. In fact, I’ll keep holding you tightly until you feel confident and reassure again. Stay with Me as long as it takes to settle you down before stepping into the day. I will be with you wherever you go, and continue carrying you as long as you need Me to.

Designed to Live in Peace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I designed you to live in peace. Originally, that was easier to do, but as life piles on it is harder to practice. Peace is attainable, though, – every day. It takes  a choice to defy the negative self-talk when it slithers in, trying to deceive you. Once you give it a hard “no”, turn to My reassurance and open yourself to receiving whatever I deem as possible. You know Me and My ways: always aiming at Goodness and Love. Let Me calm your aching soul today and give you the freedom to experience My holy and unexplainable peace.

An Unhurried Mindset

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Everything is already taken care of by Me, so you can step back and take a deep, calming breath. I know how your mind tends to race with imagining plans and details. Like a stallion at the starting gate, you wrestle with anticipation of taking off at full throttle at everything there is to do ahead of you. What if I told you there is no need to hurry, and I gently opened the gate to a pleasing meadow to amble in instead of a race track to get to the finish on? Approach this day with an unhurried mindset and see how things still get done while you are more at ease with the pace. I am here for you.

Let Today Be Gentle

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let today be a gentle day. Walk at an easy pace, soaking in whatever you observe in your surroundings. Take note of how My Light shifts and highlights things slowly around you. Learn how to hone in your observation of things like this and find its calming effect. I want to help you reduce all unnecessary stress, and this kind of slowing will help. Breathe in trust, exhale doubt.

Exchange What is Most Needed in the Moment

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have led you far and wide, to many places in life. Drawing from those experiences, you can see and trust that I am a loving, provisional God who gives you all that you need. I love you intensely and immensely. I am caring for those you love, as well. My generosity knows no bounds. Over and over again I heal, love, and equip. Knowing this to be true, I call you to move into your day with calm inner-confidence. I need you at your best today, so as you give your all I will bless the interaction with enough strength, energy, compassion, and wisdom to exchange what is most needed in the moment. Live with love today.

I Am Never Disappointed In You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

First and foremost, I want you to comprehend that I am never disappointed in you. It is you who puts critical judgement on your emotions, actions, and thoughts, – deeming them as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and equating them with worthiness. I don’t operate that way, though. I want you to know you are worth loving and being attended to. Allow yourself to receive My unconditional love. See how it changes you to become a person at peace, just as you are called and designed to be.

Excited Observation

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I call you to simplicity as a gift filled with My Peace. Find quiet contentment by taking a walk or just enjoying the birds.  Use excited observation with eyes open to My wonder. By enhancing your ability to be aware, you’ll find a vision for loveliness that allows healing. Stress will dissipate as you hone this skill of being present and fully aware in the moment.

Soothe Frazzled Nerves

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take your time today. Move slower, – ‘mindfully’, as some call it. Try emptying your mind of all those to-dos and just be a listener and observer in the moment. See how much this soothes frazzled nerves and replenishes your reserves for the day ahead. Take in the quiet, trusting Me with how the day will play out. You don’t have to have it all mapped out. Take it easier today, leaning into trust of My design.

Handling Disagreements

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

In this world there will always be disagreements. Sometimes the wayfinding isn’t clear-cut. It’s okay to have your own opinions, but it’s also important to seek to understand others. Hear them out, and if necessary, agree to disagree. You can share your views diplomatically when they are tempered by My Grace. Ask for My help to ‘keep your cool’, and start every comment by considering the most loving and compassionate intention you can back it up with. I will give you the words to say and equip you with the way to phrase it. Aim to treat all with dignity and respect. Trust Me to help.
