Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You today.
Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 254,W-pII.254. See also ACIM Lesson 254 Insights.)
Here we have a concise summary of the process of true forgiveness: When ego thoughts occur, “we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go.” This is how we open our minds to the truth that will set us free from the ego’s tyranny of fear and guilt.
The first step is to recognize ego thoughts. A key symptom of ego thoughts is lack of peace because ego thoughts always deny the peace of God. Whenever we recognize our peace has been disturbed, it is time to step back, look at the thoughts and turn them over to the Holy Spirit with willingness to receive His guidance and help to let them go.
This every day, all day, practice will accelerate our return to the recognition and certainty that we are at Home in Heaven. We are safe in Love. Our will is joined with God’s Will with the sole focus of being and extending Love.
