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.

Give of Yourself Freely

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am a God of ABUNDANCE. Abundant supply, Grace, and capacity to forgive. Receive your fill without guilt or shame. By knowing you will have more than enough of what you need, you can use My supply to honor Me and give of yourself freely. Doing My work by faithfully walking with trust in My plans for you can bring great reward to you and to others. You don’t have to be afraid that what you offer isn’t enough. I love you, tenderly and affectionately.

To Be Truly Loved and Accepted

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am yours; you are Mine. Repeat that to yourself and let it sink deep inside beyond your worries, underneath your stress, and into your very soul. Unravel the doubts, the lament, the self-degradation by using this utter truth. As you settle into knowing that you are Mine, let it permeate your whole being until you find peace. Absorb what it is to be truly loved and accepted. Allow this truth to prepare you for the day ahead, knowing that all else is relatively insignificant. You cannot earn My love, nor can anyone else take it away. Be confident in My ultimate plan for you, and rest in my reassurance.

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.

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.

Trying To Handle Everything On Your Own

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Beware of trying to handle everything on your own. This trips you up and triggers anxious thoughts. The critical voice loves to sneak in at those times and make you feel you are somehow falling short. I know otherwise about you! I see the loving intentions, capable actions, and thoughtful approaches you exhibit. I know your true self, and I also know you can trust Me to help you every minute and every hour of the day. Don’t get tripped up thinking it’s all up to you. Relax and enjoy the day with Me leading the steps.
