A Prayer for a Day of Inspiration

Holy Spirit, we ask for your inspiration today… We open our minds to Your healing Light… We are willing to let go of our belief in differences and specialness… We hand over these thoughts when they come up… We are willing to let Love heal all circumstances…

We are willing to let our false ideas be changed… We are willing to let all our fears be transformed by Love’s Presence… We are willing to return to Love’s oneness… We give thanks that You are here to inspire us in every situation we encounter today and every day.

Letting Our Holiness Heal Illusions

There is nothing my holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal, because it is unlimited in its power to save. What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.58.3. See also ACIM Lesson 58 Insights.)

Our true Self is holy because it remains united with our Creator, the Source of holiness. Because of our unity with our Source, we share all Its power to undo illusions and reveal the truth of What we are. This means we are not trapped in the illusionary world of fear, guilt and pain. We need only look to the holiness within, our True Self, to be healed of the false ideas that have made it appear that we are separate, alone and lacking Love.

Today we focus our attention on the center of peace within, where our holiness abides. From this center of peace comes the true vision that sees the holiness in all our brothers and ourselves. This is how we let our holiness heal all things.

What Is Time for?

Holy Spirit, we give our time to You today. We are willing for You to direct all our doing — what to do, where to go, what to day and to whom. We desire only to be truly helpful and we would decide nothing on our own. We would let Your Love and peace lead us through this day and share it with all whom we meet or think of today. Thus will we teach and learn that we are Love and nothing else.

Letting Go of Specialness

You are alike to God as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son to be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything, including you. Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to you and your brother in equal love, that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could never be divided, and kept separate from what it is and must forever be.” (A Course in Miracles, T-24.II.10:3-7). See also ACIM Text Q & A.

It is helpful to remember that every brother is God’s pure Love… It is helpful to remember that our special little kingdoms are nothing but illusions of specialness… We let our minds be healed as we open to the Holy Spirit’s way of seeing every brother — that he is still God’s pure Love as he was created, and not the vulnerable and different image he as made of himself…

As we are willing to see every brother as he truly is — being all of God’s Love — we are also brought to the healing awareness that we are all of God’s Love… That is why the Course tells us that every brother is our savior. As we see past specialness to the Christ in every brother, we are helped to see the Christ in ourselves and see that we are one.

With Holy Spirit’s help, we are able to see that our separate tiny kingdoms of uniqueness are nothing and nowhere. We are able to see that we “are alike to God as God is to Himself.” We are able to see that Love could never be divided, but all inclusive, possessed of all Love.

I Will There Be Light

Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to [the world], and the ego’s need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain [the world], peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment.

Your picture of the world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of light.

Above all else, you want the freedom to remember Who you really are. Today it is the ego that stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it.

…tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:
I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God’s Will and mine. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.73.2:1-2;5:1-4;7:5-7;1-:1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 73 Insights.)

Symptoms of grievances include disappointment, frustration, irritation, discouragement, sadness, depression, guilt and fear. Some of these symptoms seem to be more tolerable than others. Yet they are all equally dark because they deny the Presence of the Light of Love. None of these symptoms can be present in Love because Love’s attributes are peace and joy.

To let in the Light of Love, we must forgive our grievances. By the grace of God, we have been given the Holy Spirit in our minds, Which is the means to free us from our grievances. The daily, moment by moment practice of bringing all of the thoughts with the symptoms of grievances to the Holy Spirit with willingness to accept His help to see them truly through the eyes of Love is how we free our will. As we free our will we realize that our only true will is the Will we share with God. His Will for us is perfect happiness and therefore it is our Will as well. With this practice today, we open to our Will that we be the Light that we were created to be.

Giving Our Day to God

Giving my day to God is the same as giving my day to the truth. This world of separation is a defense against God. Today I would practice refraining from defending against the truth. Today I would let my mind be quiet. Today I would practice opening to my real Life, the Life I live in God eternally. Today I would practice opening my mind and listening to the Holy Spirit, Which is my bridge of return to the truth.

I give this day to recognizing only God is real. I would let myself be carried by the Wings of Peace. I would let my perceptions be transformed so that what is not true disappears and falls away into the nothingness that it is.

Today I would take all thoughts of apprehension or worry to God. God is Where my true safety lies. I would return to the one Identity That is real. I open my mind to God and let all false ideas of division fall away. The truth is true and nothing else is true. God is real and nothing else is real. I give this day to God. (Excerpt from ACIM Lesson 242 Insights.)

Sharing Our Father’s Purpose

Think what is given those who share their Father’s purpose, and who know that it is theirs. They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is their past, their present and their future; always the same, eternally complete and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can offer something you can win. Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness, and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that will last forever? (A Course in Miracles, T-23.IV.8. See also ACIM Text Q & A.)

It is important to remember that we are still the Light of Love that we were created to be by our Father… We are still the Light of Love that our Father is… Because we are one with our Father, we have one purpose and that is to extend the Love that we are…

As we open to the Light of Love, we feel Its peace… We feel Its gentleness and kindness… We feel Its strength… We know we are joined as one Mind with every brother… We know our connection is unlimited because in truth we share one Mind… We know our Love is automatically shared because that is what Love does… We feel the joy and the perfect calmness that comes as we share our Father’s purpose. And we are grateful that this is eternally so.
