Finding the Solution to Every Problem

The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. ²The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. ³This perception places you in a position in which your problem solving must be inadequate, and failure is inevitable.

No one could solve all the problems the world appears to hold. ²They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms and with such varied content, that they confront you with an impossible situation. ³Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them.

All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. ³Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. ⁴And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem.

Be not deceived by the form of problems today. ²Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell yourself quickly:

³Let me recognize this problem so it can be solved.

⁴Then try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is. ⁵If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. ⁶You will be heard and you will be answered. (A Course in Miracles, W-79.4:1–5:3;6;10. See also ACIM Lesson 79 Insights.)

Here we have a practice that can set us free from the ego’s limitations. We have the answer now. It is only our unwillingness that keeps us from accepting the solution to every problem we think we have. But we can learn to recognize the actual problem and let be resolved with the Holy Spirit’s help.

Let us join in a shared commitment to accept the answer to every problem. It is key to the experience of a peaceful and happy day. If we are willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help with every problem, we will be inspired with solutions in forms that bring us peace.
