Susceptible to Anxious Ways of Thinking

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are susceptible to old, anxious ways of thinking: fearing that you’ve somehow ‘done something wrong’ or are ‘not measuring up to some yard stick of approval’ by Me or by others. When these thoughts come up, I want you to recognize them as false and throw them out of your head. Mentally, toss them out of the window and into the trash, because My love for you is unchanged and ever-steady. I am readily available and My love is unending. Any messages trying to tell you otherwise or steal your confidence and peace are not brought on by Me, your loving Creator. Listen to My truth: you are enough and you are beloved.

Stop Pretense of ‘Having It All Together’

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are perfectly imperfect, and that’s exactly how I designed you. I want you to not only accept this truth, but to embrace and celebrate it with confidence and joy! Stop worrying about upholding pretenses of ‘having it all together’, ‘being on top of things,’ or being the one who’s ‘got it goin’ on’. Just walk humbly -yet confidently!- in the shoes I provide you with for today. No more, no less. You can trust that I like and love you just the way you are.

What You Are Saying To Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Daily I call you to re-examine what you are saying to yourself. When old tapes creep up and replay harmful or hurtful words of shame, turn immediately to Me for reassurance. I will help you defy those messages. I will even help erase and replace them. How beloved and great I think you are. It’s actually part of My will for you to see yourself as Good, talented, capable, loving and worthy of attention. Set boundaries against those who make you feel otherwise. I will send faithful companions your way as you make room in your life for a better support system. These companions will provide a 2-way street of healthy interactions. Ask for My help; seek and ye shall find.

To Endure the Storm of Today

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Hear Me whisper your name with a quiet, yet firm, reminder: I am here. Right here, right now, every step of the way. Even in the hard, rocky walk you may face. Put on sturdy shoes and the right jacket to endure the story of today. Let Me buffer you against the wind of challenges. Set your mind on a “can-do” mission, knowing you are partnered fully by Me.

I Will Care for You Forever

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Listen to Me: while not every day and moment may feel inspired, I have an important message for you. You can trust Me because I love you and I will care for you forever! There are no gaps in time when I’m not attending to you, or lapses as if I’ve gone away. Though you may mistakenly feel alone and floundering occasionally, I am fully present even then. Imagine how much more calm and confidently you would handle difficulties if you were only aware of My loving Presence supporting and guiding you at all times. It is difficult to keep that kind of awareness up 100% of the time, so do what you can to remind yourself to look up, child. I am with you and for you, ALWAYS.

My Designs Are Enjoyable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Enjoy! Live a little! Bask in My Presence and take your own agendas lightly, allowing Me to do and accomplish Good work in you. Keep your mind open and attentive to those around you. I speak in many ways- sometimes in those who are seemingly insignificant. You are good at what I designed for you, so take confidence and comfort in knowing and trusting that whatever I place before you is something you will be equipped to handle. My designs are perfect, and even enjoyable. Use your compassionate heart to attend to everyone I place in your path today. Live in My Light.

You Can Handle Change

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can handle change. It will go better if you look to Me during the transition. When you believe My plans for you are also for the good of all, this will relieve the nagging worry and anxiety you are prone to feeling. Embrace the idea that change is good. I’ve got this, and you can “roll with it” while leaning intensely upon Me as the driver through it all.

Speak Up

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have things to say and good ideas to contribute. I’ve equipped you with the ability to put together thoughts, and what you have to say is important. Don’t be intimidated. Speak up, even if it seems scary or trivial. You matter, and so do your ideas and opinions. Don’t get caught up in second-guessing or rehashing every word you said. Trust Me. You are My shared voice in the world and I need you to voice what’s on your mind or laid upon your heart.

You know what to do. Start your day by trusting that that just showing up will get the ball rolling for My Purposes to be fulfilled. I will fill your pitcher with enough sustenance, and as you pour out your offering of self it will enrich others. You have enough and ARE enough. Attend to the needs by using your gifts of hospitality and encouragement. Find the Spirit of JOY bringing light to this dark season.

Take note of My Glory today: brilliant colors and light teeming all around; life alive in nature. Notice these things intentionally and find the direct impact this has on uplifting your Spirit.
