Call You to a Higher Standard

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You will work through it. You always do. While others may not change, I call you to a higher standard. Concentrate on doing what you need to do and I’ll take care of the rest. You don’t have to worry about fixing things; I’ll take care of that. It’s not up to you this time. I will show you the way you shall walk. Indeed, the future is good and full of greatness! A thing to behold, really, and it is near at hand. Take hold of joy and wonder by keeping your eyes open for it.

Enjoy Being Confident

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to get caught up in trying to impress Me or others. Do what comes naturally to you, and enjoy being confident in this. You are already enough, with nothing to prove. Listen to My guidance as I place opportunities in your path to utilize your unique gifts. This is not showing off or being prideful. It’s simply a matter of acknowledging that I made each person good at different things. Don’t be shy about your talents. Use them out of love and respect for Me, your holy Designer.

Aim To Move On

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even on gray days, life can be wonderful. It might take a little effort to shift your attitude from “woe is me” to “Hey! There’s opportunity for Good things to happen today!” Open yourself to possibility. Spend a little time dreaming about or imagining happy experiences. Just the thought of them alone can lift your spirit. Pause and be grateful for something. You don’t have to fret about days-gone-by. Aim to move on and more forward. I am driving the plan, and there are always Good things in store. Believe Me.

I Will See It Through

I have things all laid out. Come to Me and you’ll find rest. I have begun a good work using you and will see it through to completion. I promise that you will have enough energy and stamina to get it all done; just open your eyes to the beauty around you any time you start feeling anxious. I am here. I will guide your steps and your words. May bitterness and anxiety fall away as you remember that you have holy hands and feet, and Goodness will flow from your efforts.

Where I Am Taking You

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I know you are tired of the car ride with me right now. I see how easily you feel discouraged or crushed in spirit when things aren’t working the way you think they should. I know you sometimes wonder, “Where are you taking me?” and may want to ask Me, “Can I stop the car for a while, or get off at the nearest exit?” I will take over the driver’s seat when you let Me. I have the map, and I’ll provide all the fuel you will need to keep going on this ride. You can trust where I am taking you, even if you cannot see the destination right now. Just knowing we are together in the car will help you manage. You can trust My driving.

Eyes on the Mast

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am guiding the boat. You’ve been a good captain, steering the ship thus far. Your boat is sea-worthy and will not sink because I have built it. Keep your eyes on the Mast, – looking forward, – and on the Master who guides you. I will bless your journey. I see your coming and your going, watching as you navigate both calm waters and stormy seas. The troubles will pass; just keep steering. I am all you will need to stay afloat.

When You’re Feeling “Off”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you feel a little sick or “off”, come to Me. Drink from My well of refreshment and healing. Take the load off your shoulders and sit with Me for a while. As you linger here, I will gently help you cope. Remember, I care about your every need. Move slower on these days, – just one step at a time is all that is needed. Before you know it, this challenge will have passed. I am with you and for you, always.

Give Me Your Lists

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There are many distractions tugging at you for your time and attention. Practice slowing and choosing one thing at a time to focus on. I can help you organize what to prioritize. Give Me all of your lists and the weight of your worry. I am here, always trying to make it more manageable for you. Problems arise when you look at the mounds and forget I am here, steadily taking care of the stacks, one by one. Look to Me for guidance and lean on Me for security. Peace is available when you remember I am in your midst and will never allow things to be too much to handle. Trust Me: we can get through anything together.

In Doable Increments

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can try to look beyond the horizon, but you won’t be able to see it. That’s because I don’t intend for you to worry about future things. The field and the forests right in front of you are plenty to take in for now. Picture Me clearing a path through the density of all this activity going on in your life. See how it unfolds, just a little bit at a time. You don’t have to cover more ground than what is right in front of you. Things can wait. Trust that I have it all laid out in doable increments, then concentrate on just taking one step at a time. There is no need to run down this path, either. Take your time, and it will all be covered eventually as you stay on track with Me.

Slow and Steady

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Even on days when you are energized, still try to do just one thing at a time. Multi-tasking may trip you up, lending itself to frenetic behavior and added, undue anxiety. Slow and steady. Use that energy to focus on listening and pausing for clarity from Me. Let Me guide your steps today.
