Hand the Agenda Over

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try entering this day without figuring everything out in advance. This might be hard for you, but I can help if you hand the agenda over to Me. When your mind is busy mapping out every little detail, you may miss the opportunity to see and allow what I have in store. As you practice trusting Me more, you will find anxiety dissipating and an inner calm taking up residence in your life. Take this leap of faith and see what going with My flow does for you. You can do it. See how I am here for you, always.

Bring Me Your Complaints

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Come to Me with all your complaints. Present them to Me with this twist: try to not judge yourself harshly for feeling negative or objectionable from time to time. I appreciate ALL of you, including your grievances against others and life’s hardships or annoyances. I just don’t want you hovering or lingering in a place of anger and negativity for long. If you find yourself planning how to retaliate, it’s definitely time to hand the situation over to Me instead. Give Me the keys so I can control the response to what has locked you up. Let Me free you from whatever annoys and angers you so that you can experience the true peace I offer.

Release the Pressure to Fix It

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know your innate truth and worth. Deep inside you are the epitome of compassion. It’s because you care so deeply about others that you also get so worked up at times. Let’s work on channeling this passion for helping others with their wellbeing into more constructive focus. You don’t have to be working harder than them. Work on recognizing when you are doing so, trying to control or channel other’s decision-making. Release those who are simply unable or not ready to make better choices on their own. I know how disappointing this is for you to watch, and how you agonize over others poor life management, but hand your disappointment and your wishes for them over to Me. Trust Me to work on it while you take a break to recuperate. You can trust My loving oversight of all things, releasing the pressure to fix it yourself.

Move Into the Passenger Seat

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

All is well. Even in times that feel chaotic and busy, this can still be a foundational truth. The true bottom line is that I am in control, and I make all things work together unto Good. Sometimes you have to move over and let Me drive, though. Life could be easier for you if you allowed yourself to rest comfortably in My passenger seat. Don’t be mistaken by thinking you have to plan for and control everything all the time. Try the ride from the passenger seat today and see what I mean.

“Not Today”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to let yourself get all panic-stricken today (or any day, really!). Keep those fearful imaginings and worst-case-scenarios at bay by mentally putting your hand up and saying “Nope! Not today. It isn’t going to play out that way.” Replace worried thinking with images of you and I being together, calmly observing life unfolding peaceably. I want that for you. Picture good outcomes and smiling encounters. Notice the Light around you and inside you. Be confident in the light-filled ways that I work in, through, and near you today. I am yours and You are mine, truly.

The Parts You Contribute

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to get so worked up over things today. Ask Me to help you settle down inside. When you start to rev up with anxiety or kick into control mode out of fear, push the pause button and turn to Me for perspective. Take a deep breath. Remember that I can and do turn all situations into good results over time. It’s not all up to you to lead, fix, or control. Once you see the outcomes are not all up to you to create, you can get back to concentrating on the parts you contribute. Remember how capable you are, and trust that I equip you for all that is needed. You can count on Me to be there with and for you, always.

Untie the Knots

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to quiet that busy, fretful head of yours. Try this tactic: tell yourself repeatedly “Nothing matters as much as I think it does.” The only thing that truly matters is using critical thinking to determine “What is the best way to be loving in this scenario?” If you see another person tangled in distress and can recognize the ropes that threaten to trip them up, help untie those knots by encouraging them to trust in Me.  If you find yourself wrapped in a tangled rope of worry over something I didn’t place in your path for you to address, step aside and let Me handle it instead. I will give you strength and insight to know how to handle each situation you encounter.

Worries That Trip You Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your feet are catching on senseless worries that trip you up. Stop stumbling by recognizing that pride and ego are difficult forces to be reckoned with. I can help you with that. It may require you choosing to allow Me to be in charge. When you take a haphazard path full of insecurities and questions about your value, worth, and capabilities, the risks of tripping, falling, and injury are greater. Worrying about one thing after another, or trying to control outcomes over which you are powerless, will only cause additional hurt and frustration. Step back, allowing Me to help you face the unknown and unfamiliar. You can proceed with trust in My plan and My purpose for your life, helping you get around or move those obstacles. I can help stabilize you, – just turn to Me and ask.

When It Feels Like Too Much

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There are so many pressures in this world vying for your attention. Phone calls, texts, emails to answer; invitations to respond to; plans to be made. When it all feels like too much, I know. Turn to Me for help making space in your head, and to find true quieting. Hear Me saying “What is necessary will be accomplished. What is not can wait. I will help. Hand your list over to Me”. Stay close behind Me, following in My footsteps as I help you focus. Cling to Me, and trust how I am rolling things out. By the end of the day, all will be well.

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.
