A Sip of Contentment and Reassurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You strive so hard. That busy head has a hard time shutting off or slowing down. Constant planning and busy-ness can be signs of how uncomfortable you are in the waiting and with silence, but you need not be so afraid. I’m inviting you to enter this new year differently. Come, sit often with Me at the well and experience My waters of grace and fulfillment. Take a sip of contentment and reassurance. I have you in the palm of My hands at all times. Sit in silence regularly with Me, truly handing each day over and practicing the art of trusting faith. Soon, you will find yourself actually longing for silence because you’ll understand how much our time together like this helps. Even if you only have a moment, seek My peace-filled Presence in silent communion with Me.

Stop Criticizing Yourself

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are not a mess. Even though there are parts of you that you wish were different, I love you exactly as you are. How much happier you would be if you stopped criticizing yourself all the time. Accept what is, and move on. Stop trying so hard to change. Allow yourself to be content within yourself here and now. So much of what you worry about doesn’t ever come true and doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Be here now, and find peace in the present.

Practice Allowing Yourself to Be Happy

I have paved a new path ahead for you. Every day that you practice releasing anxiety and slowing your pace, life becomes more manageable. Trusting in Me like this is a freeing thing. Now, the next step is to practice allowing yourself to be happy and content. It’s been a lifetime of stress and obligations which led you into false beliefs and unnecessary habits of constant pressure, worry, and unhappiness. I can unravel those tendencies, teaching you a life of ease instead as you trust in My healing hand outstretched to support you. Believe in My Goodness and picture happy things in store, then watch them unfold into reality.

When Others Are Dealing With Troubles

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It’s okay to feel content even when others are dealing with troubles of their own. You don’t have to feel guilty about this. There are ebbs and tides to all of life’s struggles. No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be able to fix everything for others. Even with Me in your life, there may be unresolved troubles and worries. Let Me help you show love and compassion to those you care about. I never promised a trouble-free life, but I do offer peace. Being content and releasing any concerns about things beyond your control to Me will help you experience peace. My capacity to heal is far-reaching and available to all. Allow Me to renew your hope and to take care of those you love.

Excited Observation

I call you to simplicity as a gift filled with My Peace. Find quiet contentment by taking a walk or just enjoying the birds.  Use excited observation with eyes open to My wonder. By enhancing your ability to be aware, you’ll find a vision for loveliness that allows healing. Stress will dissipate as you hone this skill of being present and fully aware in the moment.

Releasing Temporary Discomforts

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

The world measures by temporal things: comforts, wants, and concerns, – things that fade or do not sustain you. Find contentment right where you are, with no more and no less than you need. Practice releasing temporary discomforts, thoughts, or worries and needs into My capable hands, right in this moment. Sit quietly, absorbing My Presence as the most real want and solid satisfaction. I supply all things in due time. This day matters and your wishes matter to Me. My purpose for you, when we are in harmony, is doable and satisfying. Be fulfilled and content, working in sync with Me today and trusting that I hear your heart’s desires. I know what is best for you. Even as you mourn and groan, know that I stand by your side, fully attentive to you. All things in due time, My love. I am here.

Good Day

Let’s have a GOOD day today. Slow things down and take intentional breaks, pausing to find contentment in your surroundings. Take notice of My little gifts I send you in the moment. Everyday things, – sights, sounds, weather, nature, – can bring pleasure and calming. Tell yourself often “God’s got this. Things will work out. I can still enjoy today.” You might be surprised at how much of a difference this approach makes when you trust Me to render Goodness out of every circumstance.
