Not Awfulizing Emotions

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

There are ebbs and tides of difficult emotions that naturally come and go in this life, You can endure them all reasonably well as you lean into My companionship. I face all of these with you, pointing out when you are overreacting or assuming too much responsibility. Instead of chastising yourself or trying desperately to control things that distress you, pick them up and hold them to My Light. Together, let’s observe what is going on and gently set it down, not succumbing to awfulizing emotions or letting fear of the unknown overwhelm you. I will always help you bear what is. Breathe in trust of My helping hand.

Being Around Others

Being around others can be challenging. You long for belonging and acceptance, but interactions with others can be fickle and unpredictable. I am your constant Companion, ever-present and adoring of you. Let this loving truth overpower any fear of being rejected, excluded, or misunderstood. Look for My kindness to appear in conversations and exchanged glances or smiles. Enter these spaces confidently, trusting My Presence in and around you. I will meet you and be with you wherever you go.

The Tasks At Hand

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I want to fill you with satisfaction and zeal. Your joy is a very real part of who you are. Instead of being so anxious, I want you to seek My peace. Slow down. The tasks at hand will eventually take care of themselves. First and foremost, concentrate on the fact that I know the plans I have in mind for you, which are for your welfare, not dismay. Plans to give you peace of mind. Remind yourself to work on trusting Me and the Goodness I have in store, and see how this becomes a reality.

The Power of Loving Acceptance

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are My child, and oh-so-beautiful to Me. Look to see My eyes of love for you, which is real and powerful. I think of you as wondrous, kind, and full of Goodness. That is what others see in you and know to be true. They are drawn to you because of it. Let them know how pleasing they are, too, and find your irritability or anxiety becoming overshadowed by the power of loving acceptance. See how this releases unnecessary stress. No worries or fear of commitment are warranted. Let your heart be softened by relying on and trusting in the art of My design.

You Are Who You Are

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You are who you are. I call on you because you have gifts and abilities others do not, and what you see enables you to respond exactly as I need you to in the moment. You recognize needs and are fortunate to do so. I will not make your yoke of attending to the needs too heavy; you can trust Me on that. One day, one step, one problem and solution at a time. There is enough time for everything. Don’t forget that I am listening to you and you can rely on My power to make changes happen.

Soothe Frazzled Nerves

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Take your time today. Move slower, – ‘mindfully’, as some call it. Try emptying your mind of all those to-dos and just be a listener and observer in the moment. See how much this soothes frazzled nerves and replenishes your reserves for the day ahead. Take in the quiet, trusting Me with how the day will play out. You don’t have to have it all mapped out. Take it easier today, leaning into trust of My design.

Handling Disagreements

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

In this world there will always be disagreements. Sometimes the wayfinding isn’t clear-cut. It’s okay to have your own opinions, but it’s also important to seek to understand others. Hear them out, and if necessary, agree to disagree. You can share your views diplomatically when they are tempered by My Grace. Ask for My help to ‘keep your cool’, and start every comment by considering the most loving and compassionate intention you can back it up with. I will give you the words to say and equip you with the way to phrase it. Aim to treat all with dignity and respect. Trust Me to help.
