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.

Put Aside Your Anger

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Relax. Be mindful of the fact that you influence the atmosphere around you. Put aside your anger – it isn’t doing you any good. You can be quiet. I know you can do it. Shift your gaze and your focus onto enjoying the landscape. It is yours to take in and it will speak to you. I will speak words of gentleness and care to you when you take the time to do so.

Ready for Whatever

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

No matter how hard the effort looks, just show up today. Show up to work, to conversations, to visits, – whatever I lay on your heart. I will make sure you have what you need to make it through. Show up for Me, because I’ve asked you to. When you arrive with an attentive presence like this, I’ll overwhelm you right back in good ways. It won’t be nearly as hard as you think or fearfully imagine it to be, because you can trust Me to equip you for every little detail. You’ll have the words and energy making you ready for whatever. You can rely on Me to prepare you thoroughly.

Mosaic of Repair

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Nothing goes to waste with Me. I take all of your experiences, hurts, and disappointments and piece every bit of them together into something new that will bring Goodness back into the world. Each sliver and fragment are put to use. You may be better able to relate well to others who are hurting or disappointed now because of what you’ve been through. Others can be more present and uniquely available to you when you face challenges or hard times because of their own past. Lean into Me with trust and find the spectacular Light of Goodness that bends through My reworked mosaic of repair.

Start with Calming Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can rely on Me. No matter what you are facing today or in the days ahead, I am right there with you. Grasp My hand and hold tight to steady yourself instead of giving in to old habits of anxiety and worry. I want happiness for you, starting with calming reassurance. Anxiety stems from mistakenly thinking you won’t have whatever it takes to move through life’s experiences, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. I will equip and sustain you with more than enough for what you need. Trust Me in this truth and in My love for you, which is always there to steady you.

Fueled by Holy Passion

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve got this, simply because “WE’ve” got this. Stick with Me today, arm-in-arm, facing each task with energy and drive fueled by Holy passion. Watch as I give a smiling side-eye to you, knowing what’s in store and all that will be accomplished. Then, at the end of the day, rest with Me as you reflect upon all the Goodness that was had. I work like that in, with, and through you and others. On that you can rely.

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.

Your Enjoyable Light Draws Others In

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Why can’t you seem to see how beautiful you are, just as you are? Comparison to others skews perspective. You are loved and beloved by Me, so what more is needed? Be validated in these truths – that you are “enough” and your enjoyable light draws others in specifically because of who you are . Go with peace and confidence into today, relying on My belief in and love for you.

Recognizing Your Limitations

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You do not know everything. It’s important that you begin to recognize this fact, and  lift some of those ridiculously harsh self-expectations off your shoulders. I am accompanying you daily, and I reveal all you need to know in a given moment. Recognizing your limitations and humbly admitting them is actually an asset. The less self-reliant you become, the more you can depend on Me and find My peace. You worry far too much about what others will think of you. When you try to be all-knowing, this actually pushes others farther away. Learn to embrace your shortcomings so that I can draw you closer to Me and to others.

Focus On One Thing

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can choose to rise above any darkness that seeks to distract you. Hone in on one thing at a time, mindfully approaching each task and every personal encounter with your full attention to whatever is in front of you in the moment. Do not worry about discerning or controlling a laundry list of things to do. Instead, be receptive to My nudge that brings that one thing into focus. This way you can accomplish My works without getting your feathers ruffled. See how the pressures of life are lessened when you practice the art of mounting up and taking on just one task at a time.
