Peace When a Storm is Coming

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

O My precious child, I see when your emotions get so stirred up. You don’t have to hide them from Me. I see behind the mask you present to others telling them you are okay and everything is fine, while keeping your disappointment, fears, worries, and discouragement to yourself. I want the honest truth in all of your vulnerability so that I can provide the reassurance you’ll need to get through your todays and tomorrows. Knowing Me doesn’t mean no more troubles will come, but it does mean that all things will be manageable. You don’t have to second-guess how you’ll make it through; just rely upon Me more and you’ll find that peace is available even when it feels like a storm is coming.

I Help Repair Messes

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am your God, – with you and for you, – always present at attention. This means you no longer have to worry about being ‘perfect’ or ‘worthy’. I notice all of your good intentions and thoughtful ways. I also see the screw-ups and mishaps, unintentional or humanly flawed as they are. The bottom line is that I want Good things for you, regardless of mistakes. I take messes and help repair them. Together we can ask for forgiveness as needed and deliver acceptance to others without holding back. Come to Me with the broken parts of life, in faithful hope that I will help things get better.

It’s Okay To Not Be On Top Of Everything

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I am still with you and for you, even when you feel like you’re coming up short. It’s okay to not be on top of everything all the time. Sometimes, this may offer others the chance to step up to the plate. You can trust Me to be God and to work things out even if you feel unprepared. Let Me be in charge while you take a step back, and watch My great hand at work. Find peace deep within as you trust Me to take care of all things.

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.

Stand Tall

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be brave today. Stand tall even if your insides feel weak, because I’ve got your back and I know the outcomes will turn out well. Bravery comes when you decide to not give in to doubt and forge ahead, regardless of appearances or worry. Whatever happens, I will fashion it eventually into something Good, so go forth with confidence today. Together, we’ve got this.

Step Back and Be Calmed

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

When you find yourself in a place where you are super worked up about something, it is probably time to step back. Remove yourself and check your thoughts to see if you are being tripped up by thinking “it’s all up to me” to handle or fix or address. That simply isn’t true. I am your God. I am sovereign over all things. Step back until you can see and be reminded of this deep truth: that as your God, I am with you and looking out for you. Maybe I only need you to show up and offer your presence, because I’ll handle the rest. Leave any “fixing” up to My capable hands. I want you to find peace again, not living agitatedly with anxious and stress-filled approaches. Step back, breathe, and be calmed by how I am at work in your life.

Important Work To Be Done

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

I have important work to be done through you, but you don’t bear this responsibility alone. Find the joy in the interactions scattered throughout your day. Take it easier in your head. You don’t have to succumb to feeling so pressured all the time. Make it your aim to go lightly through the day ahead instead of with heavy-laden, plodding steps. Put the bounce back in by not worrying so much about outcomes. I’ll take care of that part.

“Not Today”

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

You don’t have to let yourself get all panic-stricken today (or any day, really!). Keep those fearful imaginings and worst-case-scenarios at bay by mentally putting your hand up and saying “Nope! Not today. It isn’t going to play out that way.” Replace worried thinking with images of you and I being together, calmly observing life unfolding peaceably. I want that for you. Picture good outcomes and smiling encounters. Notice the Light around you and inside you. Be confident in the light-filled ways that I work in, through, and near you today. I am yours and You are mine, truly.

Right Person, Right Place

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Right person, right time, right place. Make this your mantra as you face the unknowns of the day ahead. Whatever you encounter, trust that I have equipped you to handle it and you are ready for the chance to respond to any given situation. I work like that, – in and through you and others around you. Therefore, you need not worry about anything that comes your way. You can handle it.

Be Tender to Your Inner Self

/ Martha York / Leave a comment

Be tender and kind to your inner self. Hold every inkling of worry with compassion instead of judging it harshly. But, don’t hold onto it for long. Release your cares to Me with confidence that I listen, and I love you enough to attend to every little thing that distresses you. Ask Me to help handle the unexpected stressors that pop up, too. I am there for you, just like that, in an instant.
