Peaceful Presence Between Each Breath

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have much to teach you about finding peace and comfort. Life certainly causes all sorts of pain: emotionally, physically, socially. The thing about My peace, though, is it is available even in the midst of really hard things. When life’s circumstances hurt or scare you, draw in to hear My voice. I love you and I am with you. Healing can and will come. Inhale confidence and exhale doubt. Find My Peace through awareness of My constant loving Presence between each breath.

You Are All the World Needs

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today, just “be”. Be still in your head and in your heart, trusting that the day will unfold just as it should. Lean into Me with trust and dependency, for I am a dependable companion. Don’t forget that I am also GOD. You don’t have to be in charge of every little detail. You cannot really control the outcomes, either. Just try to breathe and relax, knowing you’ve put your best foot forward and your best effort has already been invested. You are kind, caring, and compassionate, and you are all the world needs right where you find yourself every minute of this day. In other words, you are enough, loved and loveable, just as you are.

Let Yourself Be Small

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You know how I long for you to be at peace. The easiest and most direct way to get there is sitting before Me and handing everything over with trust in My godly care for your every concern and need. I’ve got this. Breathe in My ultimate and constant love for you. Stop trying to figure out everything that ails you or causes your jaw to clench. Try to stop the incessant planning and imagining what you picture needs to happen. Instead, relax your face. Cry if you need to. Please, just let Me love on you for a while. Let yourself be small, cupped in My attentive Greatness, and find the peace you desire.

Everything Doesn’t Have To Be Hard

Soak in the Light today. Get outdoors and breathe in My glorious fresh air. Enjoy the opportunity to move about without worry or undue stress. You know “hard”. You’ve been through a lot. Everything doesn’t have to be hard, though. Be rejuvenated by taking a breath and knowing I am with you, recovering Good out of all you’ve endured and bringing you to a new day.

Annoyance, Judgement and Criticism

/ Martha York / 4 Comments

I love you even when you are annoyed and angry and your face scrunches up with visible disdain or criticism toward others. This doesn’t make you a “bad person”. I still love you, even then. With that said, I also want you to bring those annoyances, judgements, and criticism of others and lay it all at My feet. Release your thoughts into My capable, problem-solving hands. Inhale forgiveness and fresh perspective. What if I tell you I need those people right where they are and I want you right there with them? I have My reasons, which you cannot always see. Inhale trust for My design at work; exhale a greater acceptance of others, because all belong to Me equally.

Unplanned Changes

When your routine gets shifted due to circumstances beyond your control, turn to face Me. Let My gaze reassure you that everything will still be okay. You don’t have to be anxious in response. I will usher you in the new direction, never leaving your side. I will help steady your feet and your reactions. Breathe and find calm within you where My spirit resides to help keep you grounded. Trust that you can adjust to unplanned changes because I will always be there to help.

A Flexible Attitude

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try not to get flustered today. When something or someone starts to ruffle your feathers, take a breath and turn to face Me. I will help you allow differences of opinion or changes in direction and outcomes with a flexible, amenable attitude. Be open to things even when they don’t go your way. This may be a time for personal growth. As you release your own agendas, you will be encouraged by the trust you invest in My plan unfolding in a divine direction. I will take care of you through it all; I promise.

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.

All Your Piles

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let’s take a look at all the piles entrenching your life and examine what has been built up, taking up your energy and attention. Some of it needs to be disposed of. Some, you must carry. Other piles you have been trying to hide in a corner, ignoring them or clinging with unwillingness to part with old ways. I see your piles. You cannot and don’t need to hide them from Me in embarrassment or shame. I notice all these things calling to you and leaving you overwhelmed, angry, and frustrated. Let Me help you clear a path, decreasing the clutter. Instead of blaming Me, ask Me to help tackle them one by one, a little at a time each day. I’ll help you figure out what to discard, what to attend to, and what needs to be put away for now. See how I make way to create something new, allowing you to breathe easier.

So You Can Breathe Easier

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am your God, and able to be sovereign over your life in Good ways if you let Me. Allow Me the authority to help shape your thoughts and guide your actions today. Find how freeing it is to let go of all the things you think you can or should try to control, and instead watch with curiosity to see how I make things turn out when you give me free reign. You have the power to do that in your own mind and heart. Let Me in and allow Me to take over for a change so you can breathe easier. I love you and I desire to give you peace.
