Claiming the Strength of God Within

God is the strength in which I trust.

If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful.

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.

…reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.

Remember that peace is your right, because you are giving your trust to the strength of God. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 48, W-pI.48.1:1;3:1-2;7;8:3. See also ACIM Lesson 48 Insights.)

We cannot count on the world to provide safety and security. It is entirely an illusion. Illusions can change in an instant. What appears to be solid ground can turn out to be quicksand. The eternal changelessness of God is our only source of certainty and safety. We can count on It because It never changes. This is the Home of our true Self, which shares Its changelessness.

Our belief in being separate from God has banished His peace and Love from our awareness. We can recover awareness of His certainty by changing our mind about what we believe. To do this we need the help of the Holy Spirit to guide us.

When we feel anxious, confused or sad, we need to pause and step back from our focus on the world. Let our mind settle into the quiet peace within that is the Home of God. As we let peace become stronger in our awareness, God’s Voice becomes clear. We let It guide us to see past the transitory states of the world to the certainty of the Love we are, united in that Love with all that is real. We accept God’s strength as our own, for so it is in truth. We are at peace when we trust the strength of God in us.
