I have things all laid out. Come to Me and you’ll find rest. I have begun a good work using you and will see it through to completion. I promise that you will have enough energy and stamina to get it all done; just open your eyes to the beauty around you any time you start feeling anxious. I am here. I will guide your steps and your words. May bitterness and anxiety fall away as you remember that you have holy hands and feet, and Goodness will flow from your efforts.

What I Reveal in the Quiet

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

My love is deep, wide, strong…and quiet. I whisper to you: I am so pleased with you! Let Me give you this day of rest. Take advantage of it as you will. When you start to get anxious about the pressures of the world, choose to calm yourself with My help. What I reveal to you in the quietness is an ability to calm down the racing thoughts and minimize the To-Do lists. Allow Me to handle them today. Rest, play, connect with others, rejuvenate. I am with you and all those you love. Take it easy.

Not Hectic All the Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Pay attention to your body today. Notice the signals for when it needs a break or wants you to cut yourself some slack. Rest is just as important as exercise, good nutrition, and hydration. Everything in checks and balances. Take time to move, but also carve out time for slowing and mindfulness. You can have both in your routine, you know. Ask for My help when life feels hard or even before it becomes overwhelming. It doesn’t have to feel hectic all the time.

Soul-Filling Purpose

Use today as a true day of rest, opting for activities that are not work-related. I want your creative self to be attended to well, fueling your Spirit in ways that energize you. The rest of the work will get done; you can trust Me with that. I design each week to carve out a day like this for soul-filling purposes. Listen to My call, drawing you into awareness of your artistic side. Come to Me; meet Me in the colors and spaces beckoning you in today. You won’t regret it!

It All Starts with One Step

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Moving takes more effort on days like today when you are tired and your head feels groggy. I see; I hear; I know. I love you through it all. Rest your weary head upon My kind shoulders and let Me support you for a minute. Close your eyes and sigh, releasing the grief and the weight of the world. Remind yourself once again that it is not all up to you to handle. Even if it takes all of your energy to trudge into the day, I still want you to move in and take one step forward. Start with just that one step, trusting that I will be helping. Before you know it, you will be walking again with energy, drive, and purpose, – but it all starts with that one step.

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.

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.

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.

Smoothing the Fears and Tension

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help you quiet yourself, as completely as you can. Do not invest your thought time in needless worries. Come to Me. Be still before Me and know that I am God. Recognize Who you are sitting with! I am the Almighty Creator of all things! All-powerful, all-loving, capable of greatness. But I do not Lord this OVER you. Rather, I call you into My loving arms, wanting to embrace you fully and tenderly, smoothing the fears and tension you experience and sorting out the difficulties you face. The good news here is that I am at work in your life. Seek to trust Me with all things. Prepare yourself to step in the direction I point you for your life’s purpose. I love when you sit with Me like this, quietly resting in My Presence and readying yourself for the plan. Thank you for giving yourself to Me during this time.

Unnecessary Anxiety

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve lived a life filled with constant concerns, some of which are real and valid. Other times they cause you unnecessary panic and anxiety, with you running at a hectic and frantic pace. I am leading you into a new era! There is a time for everything, and now is the time for peace within. Learn the art of slowing. Engage with each moment presented to you, training yourself in the discipline of attending to one thing at a time.  Take notice of all that I am doing in, through, and around you as you sit back in a wondrous stance absorbing the marvelous view. All is well when you really stop to think about it. Stop with all the relentless striving and take stock in the goodness and calming I am offering to replenish your soul. I call you when you are needed, but I also give you rest. Simply be thankful.
