Afraid of Falling Short

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I see you working so hard to try to do everything “right”, yet feeling afraid that you are missing the mark or falling short. This couldn’t be further from the truth!  I never ask more of you than what you’ve already been equipped to give. When that inaccurately critical voice tries to overwhelm you with distorted self-evaluation, stop and face Me. Look to My gaze, so full of complete love, reassurance, forgiveness, and ultimate acceptance. That is the truth about you. You are loving, capable, and kind. Don’t let any little flaws or misperceptions try to convince you otherwise. I love you totally, and you are Mine for all of time.

Take It In

You know how to appreciate what I am gifting you with in your surroundings. Take it in. I bring art, sounds, nature all before you for your delight. As you notice these things and your heart sings in response I am filled with joy. Take pleasure in times like this when life feels a little easier and generous people open themselves to you. I am a generous God like that. I don’t withhold love, and I am out to bring you and those you love to higher ground. Take time to notice and bask in My beautiful offering today.

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.

Peace In Between the Breaths

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is healthy to carve out time to sit with Me. I want you to concentrate on inhaling and exhaling, trying to find that space in between breaths where life’s planning and busy-ness escapes your mind. Be fully aware of My Presence there. This may be disconcerting at first, but over time with this practice you will find you long for this place of light, comfort, and love. It is available all day and every day, any moment you need it. I am with you and for you, offering peace and healing in the rhythm of your breaths.

Wrapped in Loving Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Every now and then things that scare you resurface in your mind. I know. I see it and hear your thoughts and worries. But remember this baseline truth: I helped you then and I will help you again. You can count on Me to never leave your side. I am the Great Healer and Protector. Come to Me – run if you must! Be wrapped in My loving reassurance. Most of what you worry about doesn’t even come true. Be reminded that every little thing is going to be alright.

Belief

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Belief is essential. Healing and relief are possible. You can find peace of mind when you open yourself to trusting in Me and My Goodness. Your own worse-case-scenario imaginings are what trip you up sometimes. Remember, most of the things you fear happening don’t come true. Believe in the best outcomes. Picture things working out when My hand is involved in the design and the trajectory. I love you more than you know, and My plans for you are Good. Believe.

That Place of Familiarity

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

We are not strangers. I am intimately familiar with you, and I know your every thought, wish, and ache. You know Me, too. Deep inside, you know to trust Me and you strive to be more like Me. Talk to Me from that place of deep familiarity today. Bring Me into your decisions, actions, and conversations. Look at Me when things get resolved or when they turn out well. Acknowledge that I am a part of all Good things. Trust Me even with the tensions, hurts, and disappointments, for I am with you as you experience them. I am that familiar God who truly cares and heals.

Not In Your Hands

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I need you. I need you to be well, too. Pull in the reins and remember that I reign. I am fully in charge of your life. Abide in Me as you have been. I want your inner peace and to show you treasures not of this world. Your trust and learning that it is not in your own hands to resolve can bring inner peace and calm. Your faith can be a great example to others, too. Where you are is nowhere near “desperate”, and I won’t even let you get close to that. You will survive whatever storm is coming your way, using confidence and My vision. Work hard, but also release your work to Me so you can relax. My gift to you will be a deep well of inner peace.

Aim To Move On

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even on gray days, life can be wonderful. It might take a little effort to shift your attitude from “woe is me” to “Hey! There’s opportunity for Good things to happen today!” Open yourself to possibility. Spend a little time dreaming about or imagining happy experiences. Just the thought of them alone can lift your spirit. Pause and be grateful for something. You don’t have to fret about days-gone-by. Aim to move on and more forward. I am driving the plan, and there are always Good things in store. Believe Me.

Shut Down the Anxious Thoughts

I am here. Truly here. Take a deep breath and shut down the anxious thoughts for a second. Relax your face and jaw and stop the constant pressure of forecasting your day. Everything will come together. Whatever doesn’t get done can wait for another day. I know this, and you can rely on Me to help organize, prioritize or set things aside. Breathe again- allowing My calming balm to ease your tension and remove some of that stress. Take My offering of peace of mind into your regimen, for this gift is available 24/7.
