When You Berate Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are My beautiful creation. I pride Myself for who you are and ‘how you turned out’. It pains me whenever you try to be something other than yourself, or when you berate yourself. I made you with an engaging personality. It’s not healthy to constantly second-guess your words and actions that come instinctively out of you. Don’t fear being yourself, or even being the center of attention at times. I set up opportunities for you to be there so that My light can shine brightly through you. I in you, you in Me. Your task is to learn to allow for this to be so and walk in this truth.

Give Room to Pause

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Walk with Me at My pace. Let things slow down a bit and give room to pause now and then. Take a break from noise, electronics, and social media. Look outdoors. Breathe in the stillness and calm. You are so hard-wired to be doing things all the time, but I tell you it’s OK and good to NOT “do” for a while. You are learning the beauty and importance of mastering this skill. Just be and soak it all in with amazement and wonder. Notice the calming effect this has on you and your perspective. Grace-filled moments are all around, so be replenished as life and next steps unfold.

Reach for My Hand to Steady You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me: I am with you, never leaving your side. I am not distant. Stop all this striving on your own and reach for My hand to steady you. I will guide you away from the cliff’s edges. You don’t have to be afraid of the heights. Let’s stand and together enjoy the marvelous view instead of worrying about your footing. Don’t forget to look up now and then on your walk, and take notice of the good things along the way instead of always calculating the distance or amount of difficulty you imagine it will take. Even if a calamity or stress tries to threaten your wellbeing, all is actually well.

Bound for Greatness

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are bound for greatness. Do not take this message lightly. I have been preparing you through a lifetime of activities, experiences, and connections combined with the ways you’ve been personally shedding other layers to make you more in My likeness. I in you, you in Me. Don’t be frightened by this call. You already know how I equip you daily and you’ve seen doors open and paths made ready. You know it is coming. Yet, you also know to wait and be ready. Prepare the room with great joy and anticipation, for there will be much to be celebrated. Rest assured that I have great plans for you.

Get Rid of the Clutter and Haste

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can be inspired and inspiring. Watch those around you who live joyfully or peacefully, and emulate a lifestyle that devotes itself to those things. Simplicity is a spiritual discipline worth practicing and will help you get there. As you learn to simplify your choices, schedule, and environment, you make room for My spontaneity to enter. Slowing down your activity level will make you more receptive to the slight twists and bends of the journey I’d like to lead you on. I make ways in the wilderness. You’ll find the path I have marked for you. For now, get rid of the clutter and haste. Slowing and simplifying will bring greater joy and peace of mind to you. Less is more.

Concentrate Only on What is Needed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help you quiet yourself. Listen for My still, small voice saying “I am with you”. When you sense anxiety encroaching upon your thoughts and body, ward it off by grasping My hand in confidence that I am equipping you. I protect you, and you are Mine. No amount of work, tasks, or unanticipated events will take you away from My loving and all-powerful Presence. Sense My nearness, and remember to concentrate only on what is needed today in the present, – especially if your head is filled with other concerns. Breathe. Slow down. I will give you all that you need so you can go with confidence.

Addressing Habits of Negative Self-Talk

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The pressures of life plus poor habits of negative self-talk have eroded the beautiful Light I placed in you. It’s time to address those habits and feed your mind My words instead: you are loved! Start from that basic, undeniable truth and work on softening all of the hard edges that have crusted over this core belief. My Light within you is not meant to be covered. Your innate ability to love and be loved is not meant to be stifled. Let’s scrape, sand, and strip off the corrosion so that when you hear My voice, firm and affirming, it resounds with hope and clarity. See how this change in perspective peels away stress, hurt feelings, and negative thoughts, simply by believing in yourself and in Me.

Down Time

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today, pay attention to the gift of “down time”. I generously carve out pockets of time with fewer demands so that you can refocus and rejuvenate. It’s important to let go of the constant pressure to perform. I call you away from this anxious lifestyle to find better balance. Allow yourself to just “be”. Soak in what you see, hear, or taste in the moment. Stay with Me a while in this palace of peace and mindfulness. Observe how calming this is, and how much better you function when you take time out to be still, – even if just for a few moments each day.

Unscramble Your Brain

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help unscramble your brain. It is twisted into knots of distractions and worries. I can help unravel your cares, one at a time. Let’s ponder each one slowly and gently, releasing the rest for Me to attend to with you when it is time. Hold them up to the Light, examining them in My Presence. I will instruct you and show you the way to go.  I am a God who truly cares about every little detail of your life. No small thing goes unnoticed. You’ll be able to bear your burdens knowing that I am fully with you.

Releasing Disappointment and Anger

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is better to acknowledge your disappointment and anger, thereby allowing it to be loosened and released quickly. Holding those feelings in or trying to deny them is never healthy. You know that you don’t need to remain under the grip of fleeting feelings like that, because I am a trustworthy God who is ever-present in times of trouble and beyond. Lean into Me when the driving force of emotional winds are strong. I will keep you upright and level-headed, leading you to the stillness outside of its path.
