Familiar Places of Hurt

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am familiar with all the places you hurt and all the things that stir up your anxiety. Come to Me anyway, even though things don’t feel great all the time. Come to Me and find that just for a moment, perhaps, all feels well and manageable. Allow that glimmer of hope to squeak through the cracks of those hard, cold walls of pain or fear. Whisper this truth: I am with you in all things. Nothing will be too much to bear. Let Me comfort you with an attentive reassurance that you are never, ever alone in your suffering.

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.

Open Your Mind to New Possibilities

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You have no idea what this day will bring. Just be open. Make your eyes observant and receive the delights I put in your sightline. Open your mind to new thoughts and new possibilities. Share your heart openly with kindness and caring concern for others. Openness such as this allows My peace and joy to enter in and take hold in brilliant ways.

Treat Self and Others with Compassion

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take notice: I call to you subtly and softly when you slow your mind’s activity enough to be aware of My Presence. I am not just “near”, – I am within you, looking out through your eyes and surrounding you fully. There’s no need to spend so much time comparing, contrasting and rating yourself against others. This sadness Me, because all I ask is for you to love one another and yourself. Learn to recognize the built-in Goodness inherently pairing you and I. This will help you treat yourself and others with more compassion. I will protect you from harm when you encounter ridicule from others who don’t know or trust My Presence. Just continue the Good work I have started in you and spread the news of hope and love. Rejoice in the dawn of this day!

Patient Endurance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

No matter what discomfort you may be experiencing, you can still be calm. Patient endurance is a gift I can help you with. Loving Me and honoring My wishes doesn’t mean life will be pain-free, but I can assure you it will always be manageable. Make that your aim – to feel happy about how well you are managing despite any hardships. Pat yourself on the back for already enduring many challenges. I am pleased with how you embrace life’s difficulties with a positive and hopeful outlook, and I will help you do just that when you are still struggling . I am with you and for you, always.

The Art of Being Hopeful

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have so much in store for you! But unlike a child whose anticipation makes them cry out, “I can’t wait!”, – I ask you to be a mature adult who has come to know the importance of waiting. You can still anticipate great outcomes. That is how hope works. Keep your eyes focused on the glorious horizon of all good things to come. Some may even occur in this day ahead! Yes, practice the art of being hopeful. Turn away from negative thinking. Patiently accept each task before you today, secretly knowing the ultimate truth: that I am yours and you are Mine for all times.

Erase Those Old Tapes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to get caught up in old ways of stressing out. Truly, I intend for your life to be much easier than you make it with all that endless worry. I can help erase those old tapes that have you constantly preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario. Instead, let’s concentrate on picturing things going well. Imagine hopeful things, and focus on them working out well. Then, go and live it out, allowing yourself to enjoy a life of greater ease and freedom from unnecessary angst. If others are not ready to be on board with you, shake the dust from your feet and move on. You are allowed to live a life with happy outcomes. In fact, I want that for you!
