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.

I Will See It Through

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

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

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

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.

My Measuring Stick is Different

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There is time enough for everything – even self-care. The last thing I intend is for you to feel discouraged or defeated. Carve out alone time and quiet time today to meet with Me for restoration. Let Me remind you of your likeability and how much you are loved and valued, even if others don’t express appreciation for all that you do. You are living for Me, and My measuring stick is different than the world’s is. Find your purpose and meaning by trusting Me and how I use your life for Good things. You are needed and loved by Me, and that is what matters the most.

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.

More Than a Sedentary Life

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s okay to take it easier now and then, but a sedentary lifestyle promotes depression. I desire more for you than a sedentary life. More activity, more interest, more creativity. Get your act in gear. I will help. Shift to a “let’s DO something” mindset and see how you inspire others when you do so. It doesn’t have to be activity that others notice, though. Just start by moving about, and this will help energize and motivate you.
