Paying Attention to God’s Voice Brings Peace

God’s healing Voice protects all things today.

Let us today attend the Voice for God, which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice for God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice for God is found.

Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go; to whom to speak and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 275, W-pII.275. See also ACIM Lesson 275 Insights.)

God’s Voice is the unbreakable link between God and His Son. It assures us that we cannot be lost forever in the ego’s dream of separation. His Voice remains forever in our mind. It is accessible if we are willing to listen and learn.

Our attention to the ego has taught us to believe we are an identity separate from God and alone in a loveless world. Everything we perceive in the world seems to confirm that separation is real. We feel incomplete and need to search for the Love that will complete us.

If we are willing to consider that our perceptions may be mistaken and pause to connect with the presence of peace within, we will find Help. Whatever our need seems to be, His Voice will guide us very specifically in the direction that helps us recognize the presence of Love in our minds and in the world. It may guide us to a book, inspire a new thought, a conversation may help or we may be guided to go to a place or an event. Under His leadership, we will experience a deepening awareness of our safety in the certainty of God’s Love. We choose to attend to His Voice today.

Being a Messenger of Love

I will not be afraid of love today.

If I could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world. This the decision not to be insane, and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of death, while truth remains forever living in the joy of love. And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Identity.

Father, Your Name is Love and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by merely giving it another name? The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me not be afraid of truth today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 282, W-pII.282. See also ACIM Lesson 282 Insights.)

Love is the one condition in which our safety is guaranteed, our joy complete and peace is undisturbed. It is our natural state because it is the condition in which we were created by God, eternally united with Himself. It is the only condition in which we are at Home.

The ego is afraid of Love because only Love is real and thus separation must be unreal. This means the ego is not real. Real and unreal cannot coexist. The ego’s seeming existence depends on the belief in a world of separation. This belief makes separation seem real. To maintain its seeming existence, the ego must constantly defend against the reality of Love’s oneness.

As we let the Holy Spirit heal our mistaken beliefs in separation, fear of Love diminishes. Today we choose the Voice of Love as our Guide to true perception. We want to remember the Self God created as Love. We want to experience His joy and peace. We want to bring Love’s message to the world by demonstrating our acceptance of Love. This is our intention for today.

Living in the World with Holy Spirit’s Lead

I place the future in the Hands of God.

You are but asked to let the future go, and place it in God’s Hands. And you will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present in His Hands as well, because the past will punish you no more, and future dread will now be meaningless.

As [today’s idea] becomes a thought that rules your mind, a habit in your problem-solving repertoire, a way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is saved.

What worry can beset the one who gives his future to the lov­ing Hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain, or bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard except with love? For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to present peace, and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty, but will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has been deceived; to change his mind when he has made mistakes.

For in God’s Hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 194, W-pI.194.4:5-6;6:2-7:8;9:2. See also ACIM Lesson 194 Insights.)

Most of us put a lot of thought and time into making plans. Some of us make lists and we rely on established habits to carry us through our days. This seems necessary for our survival. How could we cover our expenses, have food to eat or a roof over our head without having some kind of plan? It is important to consider the guide we choose in making these plans.

The ego makes plans based upon the past. Its thoughts about the future are always constructed from memories of the past. The ego’s plans skip over the present, avoiding the memory of ever present Love. This insures that the future will be like the past with all its fears and guilt.

But if we place the future in the hands of God, the future is a continuation of the eternal Love in the present instant. In God’s hands, we are guaranteed perfect safety, joy and peace of mind—all our needs are met. As we let the Holy Spirit guide our plans, God’s Love is reflected in our experience in the dream. We are guided in what to think, say and do.

Our relationships reflect our unity in Love. Our doing is done with kindness, compassion and helpfulness. Our thoughts reflect our perception of the Love in our brothers. Our words are given us by the Holy Spirit to bring understanding and healing to our brothers and ourselves. Our lists are inspired by Him. Every moment reinforces our awareness of the Love we are by teaching us to overlook our mistaken beliefs and see the presence of Love.
