A Somehow God

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to Me and trust that I am the “somehow” God in your life that you need. Somehow, you turn a corner and find that peace that outweighs the anxiety and sadness. Somehow, you get the strength to handle that difficult situation. Somehow, a genuine belly laugh breaks through the tears and disappointment. Somehow, people come through and circumstances change. Life moves on. Trust Me to provide all the somehows you will need. Take a breath of encouragement, succumbing to My gentle reassurance that you will get through all of this.

Whatever is Needed is Doable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Whatever is needed from you today is doable. I make all things work together for Good. I won’t ask more of you than what you can truly handle. Try not to look at the day ahead measuring your energy and strength against what you think it’ll take to get through. You can trust that I’ll equip you with enough stamina, and then-some. Look for ways to partner with others and share the load when the opportunity arises, too. Remember, it’s not all up to you. My hand is at work. Don’t let yourself be intimidated by anything I place before you. Believe in how capable you are.

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.

Step Back and Be Calmed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you find yourself in a place where you are super worked up about something, it is probably time to step back. Remove yourself and check your thoughts to see if you are being tripped up by thinking “it’s all up to me” to handle or fix or address. That simply isn’t true. I am your God. I am sovereign over all things. Step back until you can see and be reminded of this deep truth: that as your God, I am with you and looking out for you. Maybe I only need you to show up and offer your presence, because I’ll handle the rest. Leave any “fixing” up to My capable hands. I want you to find peace again, not living agitatedly with anxious and stress-filled approaches. Step back, breathe, and be calmed by how I am at work in your life.

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.

Be Tender to Your Inner Self

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be tender and kind to your inner self. Hold every inkling of worry with compassion instead of judging it harshly. But, don’t hold onto it for long. Release your cares to Me with confidence that I listen, and I love you enough to attend to every little thing that distresses you. Ask Me to help handle the unexpected stressors that pop up, too. I am there for you, just like that, in an instant.

Don’t Look Back

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Don’t look back. Too many people get anxious over past conversations and decisions. What is done is already done, so leave it to Me to work all things into something Good and helpful. Nothing you’ve experienced will go to waste. I make you stronger, wiser, and more compassionate by allowing you to experience life in your free will. Live in 24-hour increments and you will find a life of greater peace and ease.

Remember Who is in charge today. Let Me be your faithful, capable leader, guiding each step with confident direction. Take stress out of the equation by relying wholeheartedly on Me. You can do that! I’ve known you your whole life, so I am the best judge to determine what you are ready to handle in this day. Mirror My belief in you and experience calming relief from your anxiety.

Quiet the Chatter Inside Your Head

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can live calmly and grounded. It takes conscious effort, though, to push aside distractions and quiet the chatter inside your head. So much of what spins in there is just imagined scenarios that never come into fruition. Ground yourself in the here and now. Stop, take a breath, and look around you – observing color or sounds in this present moment. Appreciate the gift of time slowing down when you hone in on My Presence with you right here, right now. Be at ease as you trust in My Goodness. I am looking out for you, always.

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.
