Allow Me to Take the Pressure Off

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There are so many things clamoring for your attention as you replay thoughts from previous encounters or imagine interactions yet to come. Both are needless activities. I call you to awareness of the present! You are Mine. Stop and take stock of everything I am providing in this very moment: food, warmth, love, safety, security, – plans for your welfare, not for dismay! Your flesh and bones are in working condition for the tasks I have in store for you. Stop agonizing over insignificant details. Give in to My Will, discovering how I make life flourish for you. Abundant, tender, meaningful life. As you rely on Me to take care of you, worries about the future will lessen. My reliable provision is there for you, so allow Me to take the pressure off.

Give Yourself Time to Think Things Through

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be slower to move in response to things today. Give yourself time to think things through and filter them from My perspective. I will help determine what needs a response now verses what can wait until later, helping to make things flow more effectively. The aim is to not be overwhelmed and to be less stressed by whatever comes at you. I will lead you on the path of ease and calm.

A More Leisurely Route

/ Martha York / 1 Comment

Pace yourself. One thing at a time; one foot in front of the other. Instead of being like a boulder perched at the top  of a steep hill that gets pushed over the edge only to roll faster and faster as you gain momentum toward the bottom, pick a more leisurely route. It may take longer to get to the destination, but the slower pace will allow you to take in and impact so much more along the way. Don’t berate yourself for moving slower than you are accustomed to doing. Recognize that I join you on this journey, and My timing is perfect. What can stand against this plan if I am with you?

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!

Unnecessary Anxiety

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You’ve lived a life filled with constant concerns, some of which are real and valid. Other times they cause you unnecessary panic and anxiety, with you running at a hectic and frantic pace. I am leading you into a new era! There is a time for everything, and now is the time for peace within. Learn the art of slowing. Engage with each moment presented to you, training yourself in the discipline of attending to one thing at a time.  Take notice of all that I am doing in, through, and around you as you sit back in a wondrous stance absorbing the marvelous view. All is well when you really stop to think about it. Stop with all the relentless striving and take stock in the goodness and calming I am offering to replenish your soul. I call you when you are needed, but I also give you rest. Simply be thankful.

I Make All Things Manageable

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are tired. I see your fatigue. Allow Me to slow the pace today. I can renew your energy simply by not overwhelming you. Take it easier – just one thing at a time. There is so much benefit to slowing this way. You can be intentional about not taking on more than what is needed. Let others step up to the plate, and relax as you hand off some of that responsibility. Don’t forget that I am yours for the day, too, so hand some of it off to Me, as well. I will lighten your load and make all things manageable.

Focus On One Thing

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You can choose to rise above any darkness that seeks to distract you. Hone in on one thing at a time, mindfully approaching each task and every personal encounter with your full attention to whatever is in front of you in the moment. Do not worry about discerning or controlling a laundry list of things to do. Instead, be receptive to My nudge that brings that one thing into focus. This way you can accomplish My works without getting your feathers ruffled. See how the pressures of life are lessened when you practice the art of mounting up and taking on just one task at a time.

Confident in Our Daily Partnership

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Remember, I intend for you to live 24 hours at a time. Don’t get so far ahead of yourself with imagined conversations, events, and outcomes. These can cause anxiety and are not of My design. I want you to become dependent on Me, confident in our daily partnership and able to hear My voice and experience My Presence. Don’t be misled into thinking you have to know all the answers and you don’t need Me. Take the grapes from My vine freely, and have your fill of My sustainable supply. It will be substantial enough to meet your needs in this day. Just stay present, concentrating on My daily bread supplied to you.

Like a breath of fresh air, joy comes in the morning. The dawn brings elements of hope and new perspective. Tell yourself, “Things are looking up!” and frame your mindset in eager anticipation for Good things to come, not fearing the worst-case scenario. Hoping for the best can set your feet and your mind in the right direction on course to actually see it unfold that way. Don’t forget that I am always with and for you, – by your side as we aim for bright horizons.

Remember I Am the Driver & the Manager

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am part of your life, and rooting for you. I have so many good things in store when you abandon yourself to a with-God life, fully receiving the abundance I offer. Try to catch yourself as you start to stress out today and shift gears to remember that I am the Driver and the Manager working out all of the details. Go with the flow of activity without succumbing to worry about what’s coming next. As you practice being present in the moment with Me navigating it all on your behalf, you will find the day flies by and all gets done as needed.
