Lost in a Sea of Needless Worry

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you are lost in a sea of needless worry, come into My arms. Be comforted and reassured. My love is real, My plans are good, and you needn’t be so afraid and worked up. Don’t be fooled by the misguided belief that things are “all up to you” to do, fix, or accomplish. Rest in My arms of reassurance until your fragile spirit is completely recovered. Remain close to My side with each step you take and lean in as needed for support. Things will work out; you can trust Me.

Be Strengthened to Manage

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take care of yourself, including tending to your need for food, exercise, and rest. Build in time for conversations with Me daily as part of that self-care, too, because I want to build up your spiritual self, as well. I cannot implement the big plans I have in store for you until you can be strengthened to manage all that will be involved. There are many demands on your time. Gently I call you to be reminded that My well does not run dry. You can dip your ladle in these life-giving waters of Grace as many times as is needed to quench your parched body. As you extend yourself and thirst for more water, I will replenish and recharge your body and spirit. You will be ready for a multitude of tasks requiring your energy and concentration if you come to the well frequently.

Take Time to Just BE

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When the world gets busy around you, stop to concentrate on being Light-filled. Rest your weary head as I lift the weight of the world off your shoulders, knowing I hold you in the palm of My hand. Allow Me to ease tension as you focus on clearing out your mind. See My Light filling you. These blissful moments with Me are very real, and meant to build and restore you as you take time to just BE.

Attentive to Needs Beyond Your Own

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Today I ask you to concentrate on doing good things for others. It takes effort to listen well, being focused and attentive to needs beyond your own. If you take one interaction at a time, by the end of the day you will be able to see that what was accomplished was enough. Take periods of rest, too. It’s okay to not overextend yourself. I am teaching you dependence upon Me, and learning to pace yourself is part of that education. I desire for you to live in peace, and not to be taking on too much that will overwhelm you. All is and can be well.

Concentrate Only on What is Needed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help you quiet yourself. Listen for My still, small voice saying “I am with you”. When you sense anxiety encroaching upon your thoughts and body, ward it off by grasping My hand in confidence that I am equipping you. I protect you, and you are Mine. No amount of work, tasks, or unanticipated events will take you away from My loving and all-powerful Presence. Sense My nearness, and remember to concentrate only on what is needed today in the present, – especially if your head is filled with other concerns. Breathe. Slow down. I will give you all that you need so you can go with confidence.

You Long for Time Alone and Rest

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know your heart and its ways – how you long for time alone and rest. I see how you push yourself to accomplish many things as you interact with others daily. I have plans in store that account for your abilities as well as for your needs. Seek balance between giving of your time and finding rest. The ebb and tide of life’s demands requires that you take time to replenish. It’s important to make time to observe and gear up as well as to extend yourself. Like tidal waves that reach the shore then retreat for a while, only to roll back again later, I will give you enough energy to accomplish each task for My purposes. I will shed light on what to pursue in your heart, and will also supply rest and refreshment. Step slowly, watching for My hand in your day’s plans. Feel the Spirit’s flow of extending, reaching, and then retreating. Rest in My perpetual call to love and to rest.

The Journey May Take Awhile

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Try brushing up on your attentiveness skills. Today, listen and watch for the myriad of opportunities I lay before you. No day goes without purpose when you place your life in My capable hands. I may call you to speak, listen, observe, or receive. Try not to force things to occur according to your own agenda, or to push for complete outcomes. Sometimes the journey I have you on may take awhile. The joy is in the serving and in giving as much as in receiving.

Unscramble Your Brain

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Let Me help unscramble your brain. It is twisted into knots of distractions and worries. I can help unravel your cares, one at a time. Let’s ponder each one slowly and gently, releasing the rest for Me to attend to with you when it is time. Hold them up to the Light, examining them in My Presence. I will instruct you and show you the way to go.  I am a God who truly cares about every little detail of your life. No small thing goes unnoticed. You’ll be able to bear your burdens knowing that I am fully with you.

Releasing Disappointment and Anger

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

It is better to acknowledge your disappointment and anger, thereby allowing it to be loosened and released quickly. Holding those feelings in or trying to deny them is never healthy. You know that you don’t need to remain under the grip of fleeting feelings like that, because I am a trustworthy God who is ever-present in times of trouble and beyond. Lean into Me when the driving force of emotional winds are strong. I will keep you upright and level-headed, leading you to the stillness outside of its path.

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.
