Take It Easier Today

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

You have no idea what I’m up to. That’s because you are designed to live in 24-hour increments only. Any more than that is too much to bear, and I am preparing you day by day for what is in store. Take it easier today, living in simple trust of My good plan unfolding just as it needs to. Take things one day at a time and try not to worry about tomorrow. Step confidently into today knowing I am by your side at all times and you can trust Me. You needn’t carry worry about anything bigger than that right now.

Worrying About Other’s Opinions

/ Martha York / 2 Comments

Keep on guard today for times when you are worrying about other’s opinions of you. This is the biggest trip hazard out there, and I don’t want you to fall prey to the devious one’s taunting messages that you are somehow falling short or should be embarrassed. The opposite is My truth, for you are lovely and worthy of attention. You are Good and making a helpful impact in the world. You are My beloved! And you are Mine. You can trust that what you have to say and contribute will be meaningful, and you are right where I need you to be today. Show them the love I placed in your heart, and dazzle the world with My Light inside of you.

I Am Your Protector & Healer

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Oh, my anxious one! How I long to scoop you up into My arms like a little lamb, shaking in the dark and cold world. I am your protector and healer. The Light of day is coming soon and will shed new perspective for you. You can trust Me and My plans for Good things to come. I will not let you down. In fact, I’ll keep holding you tightly until you feel confident and reassure again. Stay with Me as long as it takes to settle you down before stepping into the day. I will be with you wherever you go, and continue carrying you as long as you need Me to.

Designed to Live in Peace

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I designed you to live in peace. Originally, that was easier to do, but as life piles on it is harder to practice. Peace is attainable, though, – every day. It takes  a choice to defy the negative self-talk when it slithers in, trying to deceive you. Once you give it a hard “no”, turn to My reassurance and open yourself to receiving whatever I deem as possible. You know Me and My ways: always aiming at Goodness and Love. Let Me calm your aching soul today and give you the freedom to experience My holy and unexplainable peace.

An Unhurried Mindset

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Everything is already taken care of by Me, so you can step back and take a deep, calming breath. I know how your mind tends to race with imagining plans and details. Like a stallion at the starting gate, you wrestle with anticipation of taking off at full throttle at everything there is to do ahead of you. What if I told you there is no need to hurry, and I gently opened the gate to a pleasing meadow to amble in instead of a race track to get to the finish on? Approach this day with an unhurried mindset and see how things still get done while you are more at ease with the pace. I am here for you.

Resist the Urge to Relive Yesterday’s Worries

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am sovereign over all things. When worries of yesterday crop up, resist the urge to relive the experience or to criticize your every move. Quickly push the anxiety aside by saying, “Lord, You placed me where I was and I can trust You with the impact and outcomes.” You need not worry about others impressions of you. My love for you is all-encompassing, and I want you to rest assured that all is well with you in My eyes. Take this to heart: you are loveable, likeable, and accepted.

Let Today Be Gentle

Let today be a gentle day. Walk at an easy pace, soaking in whatever you observe in your surroundings. Take note of how My Light shifts and highlights things slowly around you. Learn how to hone in your observation of things like this and find its calming effect. I want to help you reduce all unnecessary stress, and this kind of slowing will help. Breathe in trust, exhale doubt.

Exchange What is Most Needed in the Moment

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have led you far and wide, to many places in life. Drawing from those experiences, you can see and trust that I am a loving, provisional God who gives you all that you need. I love you intensely and immensely. I am caring for those you love, as well. My generosity knows no bounds. Over and over again I heal, love, and equip. Knowing this to be true, I call you to move into your day with calm inner-confidence. I need you at your best today, so as you give your all I will bless the interaction with enough strength, energy, compassion, and wisdom to exchange what is most needed in the moment. Live with love today.

Let Me Soothe Away the Strain

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Know that I am God. My desire isn’t to have you work yourself to the bone. I want you to treasure your spirit as I treasure you. Lay your weary head on My shoulder. Let Me soothe away the strain. I am indeed pleased with you. Work less hard in the sense of taking things one task at a time and not overwhelming yourself. Look for Me in the eyes of others who see you as kind, compassionate, and capable. They recognize your fatigue, too, so there’s no need to hide it. Close your eyes and rest on My shoulder as needed today. Let Me help comfort and rejuvenate you as you drink from My well.
