Just Get Started

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Rekindle some enthusiasm for life and fun today. You need joy in your day. It may mean devoting five minutes to some sort of hobby or creative outlet you haven’t tried in a while. Just get started. Don’t feel like you have to commit to taking on a whole project. That might overwhelm you. Give yourself credit for what you are able to contribute instead of beating yourself up for what doesn’t get done. I work like that in you: small bits at a time. Do this as your aim for holy rejuvenation, spurred on by My nudge giving you permission to take time for this. It’s important to carve out time for enjoyment.

Belly Laugh Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

If you can, find a light-hearted stance that allows you to belly laugh today. See how it can ignite a room when you find ways to laugh good-heartedly at a situation instead of getting worked up, self-conscious, or defensive. Find joy embedded in your soul. It’s in there, even during the hardest challenges you may be facing. Laughter can be a great medicine if you allow it to emerge. Give it a try, even when you don’t feel like it. You don’t have to wallow in self-pity, annoyance, or absence of motivation. I want you to live with joy. If you can’t seem to find it, ask for My help. I’ll assist you with that, for sure.

Under the Power of My Love For You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let’s start this day out easier. Unplug from the myriad of tasks awaiting you for a moment and sit with Me. Talk to Me about what you treasure and value. Share your worries and concerns with My attentive ears and gaze right before you. Don’t look away or get distracted by your phone Stay with Me long enough to be truly reminded of how much I am involved in your life. I am your Constant Companion who wants so much to sustain you and give you peace and joy. Stay here long enough for your insides to settle down and your anxiety to filter away under the power of My love for you.

Say Yes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I still have work for you to do, but that doesn’t have to sound or feel intimidating. My works are easy and will come naturally to you because you are designed by Me. You know what it feels like to be capable and competent based on skills you’ve honed or experiences you’ve been through in the past. Be open, therefore, to whatever I lay before you. When you are presented with something new, don’t show away or retreat out of self-doubt. Instead, say yes – even with shaky hands – because you know how to cling to My grip. Strap in for the ride ahead, picturing yourself joyfully experiencing sights unseen with Me, your reliable copilot, at your side.

Imagine Positive Encounters

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Picture delightful things coming your way. Imagine positive and joyful encounters, and set your mind up to receive and be part of them. Setting the stage for Goodness to arrive like this is important. If you can work on releasing undue anxiety and posturing yourself for happier experiences, the outcomes will bear much fruit. My reign is one that calls for peace on earth, so picture that happening as a result of all your activities today. After all, I am the peace-giver and I will be generous with you.

Important Work To Be Done

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have important work to be done through you, but you don’t bear this responsibility alone. Find the joy in the interactions scattered throughout your day. Take it easier in your head. You don’t have to succumb to feeling so pressured all the time. Make it your aim to go lightly through the day ahead instead of with heavy-laden, plodding steps. Put the bounce back in by not worrying so much about outcomes. I’ll take care of that part.

Joy, Not Drudgery

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take delight in the tasks before you today,  one at a time. Picture that I’ve laid out a “good” day for you, with things you like to do and can feel a sense of accomplishment in. I desire your joy, not drudgery. I prefer seeing your enthusiasm and optimism after so many years of sadness, anger, anxiety, and hurt. Remember, I am a loving God, continually making things new. I gather goodness out of the dust and ashes. Your encouraging spirit serves you and others well. Take heart, for I am truly with you and the desires of My heart are not different than your own. Don’t let fear or anxious anticipation of worst-case-scenarios grip you. Keep your grasp on My right hand as we move forward.

Stop Being So Crabby

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is in your nature to be joyful, so ask for My help to stop you from being so crabby and anxious. Take a nap, or find ways to rest. Put away the things that are stressing you out for an hour or a day so you can come back to the work I intend for you without dreading it. I never want you working from a place of dread and angst. Let Me help refresh you.
