I give my life to God to guide today.
Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your Own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me.
Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 233, W-pII.233. See also ACIM Lesson 233 Insights.)
Since God’s Will for us is perfect happiness, giving our life to Him to guide is choosing happiness. The ego tells us that if we choose God, we will be required to sacrifice. But is it a sacrifice to give up illusions of pain, suffering, loss, lack of love, fear and guilt? That is all the ego has to offer.
God will always lead us toward happiness and peace because that is His Will for us. Stepping back and letting Him lead the way is the choice to remember Who we are. It is the choice to remember our true Home in God. It is the way we open the door to receive and accept the blessings God has already given us as His one Son. We choose the way to happiness today.
