Wellness Comes From Slowing Down

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try simplifying today. Don’t take on too much. Take simple steps, slowly attending to one thing at a time. Hurrying all the time and carrying such heavy loads of pressure is not healthy for your mind or Spirit. Wellness comes when you learn to slow down. What most needs to be done will get done, and the rest can apparently wait. Ask for My guidance to help you sort out priorities, trusting Me to handle the rest. I am with you and for you this way.

Thy Kingdom Come

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

“Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” These are never meant to be ominous or foreboding words. When you ask to follow My will for you or seek My kingdom’s ways here on earth, you will find comfort and peace. Following My will is an act of trust, and in return I give you reassurance that Goodness will surface. While you won’t necessarily be free of strife or difficulties, you will definitely be able to handle them because I’ll equip you and send help. Seek My kingdom (My will) as top priority today and find the calmness you so desire within you to surface.

Called to Be Still

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I call you to be still so that you can know Me better. When you are still, you can focus better and find the peace I offer you continually. In the stillness, I can attend to you differently, – providing reassurance that I am with you right here and right now, that you are enough, and that you’ll have what it takes to get through the day. Come, sit by Me and absorb the calming effect of My loving Presence. Stay here awhile, basking in the quiet peace and pool of Grace I have for you.

Your Presence is an Extension of Me

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ll have what it takes to address the needs of the day. I place you among My people with a directive to show love, hope, and encouragement by sitting attentively with others, validating their experiences, pain, or discouragement. It won’t necessarily be up to you to fix with the right words, though. Just be comfortable pausing to listen without responding at times. Your calm, loving presence will be enough and can be an extension of Me, showing how much you care in a way that words aren’t always needed. I’ll help you figure out what to say and when to say it when you pause to acknowledge My healing ways and ask for guidance. I am with you all, always.

On Sound Footing

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even when you have a busy day ahead, I call you to pull back for a minute and hang with Me first. Sit as still as you can, releasing all the pressure of concerns, worries, planning, and insecurity into My hands. Focus on My pure, simple love for you. You are enough, just as you are. It’s not all up to you. Breathe in My calming words and regain focus. Let the plans and outcomes be 100% left for Me to work out. Stay with Me long enough to absorb this truth until it gives you sound footing for what will unfold as you step into the day.

You’re Exactly What is Needed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Don’t be nervous about what the week ahead holds for you. I have you and the plans confidently ready in the palm of My hands. Face the day determined to accept your place in each activity as being truly warranted. You are what I call for in the moment: your voice, your demeanor, and your actions will be spot-on, comprising exactly what is needed. Try to not fall prey to second-guessing that. Trust Me, as I also equip you to trust yourself. You are capable and worthy.

It’s OK to Like Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s A-OK to actually like yourself! So many weary and anxiety-ridden hours have been ill-spent on self-reproach. The life I long for you to experience is one where you confidently see yourself as endearing, capable, and worthy of positive attention as well as loving support. How I wish you would embrace this new lifestyle – entering each day with calm and ease because you can trust you are supposed to have good things happen in your life. Picture it, then hear Me affirming that this is the true life I’ve called you to live.

Take In Peace and Ease

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take it all in! I freely give you the sights, sounds, colors, and scents in this garden of delight. Practice slowing down and noticing things. Most importantly, take in the sense of peace and ease I offer if you stop long enough to receive. Learn to take rest breaks more often, acknowledging My call for you to be present in the moment with Me like this. Things will get done in due time. Time with Me is always time well-spent.

Sit Still

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s a gift to truly sit still, absorbing sights and sounds in the present moment. You can allow memories to surface, or thoughts and imagined scenarios for future events to rise and be acknowledged, but try to return to awareness of the present. Now, picture Me sitting with you, – noticing the same things that catch your attention. Smile at our connectedness that occurs without words. I am oh-so-familiar with your every thought and reaction. Tenderly, turn your gaze to Me, sensing My all-consuming love for you. Push busy-ness aside and see what joy I can stir up for you as you spend time with Me like this. Let Me re-energize you by restoring balance and rest in your life.

Roll With the Circumstances

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have what it takes. Speak boldly, as I have prepared you to do. Also speak kindly, with nurturing words toward yourself and others. Nothing needs to rile you. You can easily choose to roll with the circumstances that come upon you today, knowing I am with you no matter what happens next. I am present even in the unexpected, so don’t allow anxiety to cast a shadow over the bright things about to happen. You can handle everything when opting to do it in partnership with Me and under My Good plans for you.
