If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful. What can you predict or control? What is there in you that can be counted on? What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve them in such a way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?
Of yourself you can do none of these things. To believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted, and to justify fear, anxiety, depression, anger and sorrow. Who can put his faith in weakness and feel safe? Yet who can put his faith in strength and feel weak?
God is your safety in every circumstance. His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 47, W-pI.47.1:1-3:2. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)
Fear, anxiety, depression, anger and sorrow are of our own making. They are the effect of believing the ego is our identity. The ego denies our unity with God and thus denies the only Source of strength. But we are not left without Help in the ego’s fantasy world of separation.
God has given us His Voice to help us. We can count on the Holy Spirit’s help at all times. He is aware of all that we have perceived from the past and what effects the present moment brings to our future.
If we are willing to accept His help, fear, anger and depression are replaced with the vision of our certain safety in the strength of God. Sorrow is replaced by God’s joy. Anxiety is replaced by the peace of God. Fear is replaced by the Love of God. These are the gifts we receive when we accept the Holy Spirit’s help to resolve every perceived problem. He leads us out of the fantasy of separation into the experience of our eternal Home in God’s Love.
