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.

Quiet Your Mind

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s okay to be still. Tell yourself, “All is well. No rushing or worries are needed.” Soak in the view around you as you quiet your mind enough to hear Me. I gift you with a life of ease in these moments. Glimpse the Goodness and behold My love for you in the calm of right here, right now. A slowed pace and quieting of the mind allows you to experience life as being manageable. Things will get done. You don’t have to live so frantically pushing agendas and to-do lists all the time. Just relax and stay awhile with Me, and I assure you the rest will fall into place.

Untie the Knots

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to quiet that busy, fretful head of yours. Try this tactic: tell yourself repeatedly “Nothing matters as much as I think it does.” The only thing that truly matters is using critical thinking to determine “What is the best way to be loving in this scenario?” If you see another person tangled in distress and can recognize the ropes that threaten to trip them up, help untie those knots by encouraging them to trust in Me.  If you find yourself wrapped in a tangled rope of worry over something I didn’t place in your path for you to address, step aside and let Me handle it instead. I will give you strength and insight to know how to handle each situation you encounter.

Worries That Trip You Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Your feet are catching on senseless worries that trip you up. Stop stumbling by recognizing that pride and ego are difficult forces to be reckoned with. I can help you with that. It may require you choosing to allow Me to be in charge. When you take a haphazard path full of insecurities and questions about your value, worth, and capabilities, the risks of tripping, falling, and injury are greater. Worrying about one thing after another, or trying to control outcomes over which you are powerless, will only cause additional hurt and frustration. Step back, allowing Me to help you face the unknown and unfamiliar. You can proceed with trust in My plan and My purpose for your life, helping you get around or move those obstacles. I can help stabilize you, – just turn to Me and ask.

When It Feels Like Too Much

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There are so many pressures in this world vying for your attention. Phone calls, texts, emails to answer; invitations to respond to; plans to be made. When it all feels like too much, I know. Turn to Me for help making space in your head, and to find true quieting. Hear Me saying “What is necessary will be accomplished. What is not can wait. I will help. Hand your list over to Me”. Stay close behind Me, following in My footsteps as I help you focus. Cling to Me, and trust how I am rolling things out. By the end of the day, all will be well.

Good With That

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Know that you are enough for Me, and I am enough for you. Be good with that. Come to Me with your worries and fears when they creep in and start to unsettle you. Hand them over to Me, then rest with trust in My arms. As you recover and regain your footing, look back at Me, your constant companion, with each step you take forward. Live in 24-hour segments, releasing the cares of tomorrow and the regrets of yesterday. Know that I’ve got your back and you are truly loved. Don’t worry about getting it all done today; sometimes only part of the work is necessary. Piece by piece, you will accomplish what is needed and still be able to breathe in My peace.

Recognizing Your Limitations

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You do not know everything. It’s important that you begin to recognize this fact, and  lift some of those ridiculously harsh self-expectations off your shoulders. I am accompanying you daily, and I reveal all you need to know in a given moment. Recognizing your limitations and humbly admitting them is actually an asset. The less self-reliant you become, the more you can depend on Me and find My peace. You worry far too much about what others will think of you. When you try to be all-knowing, this actually pushes others farther away. Learn to embrace your shortcomings so that I can draw you closer to Me and to others.

I Make All Things Manageable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are tired. I see your fatigue. Allow Me to slow the pace today. I can renew your energy simply by not overwhelming you. Take it easier – just one thing at a time. There is so much benefit to slowing this way. You can be intentional about not taking on more than what is needed. Let others step up to the plate, and relax as you hand off some of that responsibility. Don’t forget that I am yours for the day, too, so hand some of it off to Me, as well. I will lighten your load and make all things manageable.

That Central Place of Knowing

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Somewhere deep inside, you already know that I am with you and for you. You recognize that you are loved for exactly who you are in that central place of knowing. The world and its challenges make awareness of that deep truth murky and blurred. I call out to you, “Be still…I am here, waiting.”  Find Me here, and recognize once again that I’ve been with you all along. You are never alone or forsaken. Whatever is going on, we can handle it together. Let My love originating from that central place refresh and enliven you once again.
