I Will Step Back and Let Him Lead the Way.

Robert:
Whenever I have my own ideas, my own goals for what I think should happen and when, I am not at peace. My mind jumps in many directions trying to figure out things to do to make the goals happen. But these are exercises in futility because they are exercises of illusions playing with illusions.

I was reminded today by the lesson that tells me I do not perceive my own best interests. This being the case, I have no business trying to make anything happen. I really have only one business and that is to let myself be led by the Holy Spirit in my mind. When I step back and let Him lead the way, turning over my goals and wishes to Him, then I return to peace. I am relinquishing my investment in illusions and opening to the clear vision of Spirit.

All I really want is the peace of God. Today I reaffirm this one goal and commit to the practice that will let it happen — I will step back and let Him lead the way.

Mary:
This morning I go through a surrendering process of remembering that I know nothing. I see myself standing under Holy Spirit’s shower of Light, shower of peace… I breathe it in… I practice letting go of everything I think I know… Who do I think I am? Who do I think my brother is? I just let it all be washed away by the Holy Spirit’s healing Light… I just let it be washed away… I ask for the peace of God and open my mind to receive Holy Spirit’s gift of peace…

What comes to me as I continue accepting peace is that the life I appear to be living is just a story. It’s just a story. Very quietly, I am asked not to take it so seriously. I hand it all over to the Holy Spirit. As I truly do this it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The heaviness is just a signal that I was taking the story too seriously once again. I was trying to solve things on my own.

Once again, I am shown that this does not work. This is not the answer. It is only the Holy Spirit that knows what is in my best interests and everyone’s best interests. It is only the Holy Spirit That knows how to lead us all out of the dream stories we are making up of being separate and alone.

The Holy Spirit reminds me once again to let go of the reins and let myself be carried. My job is to place my trust in the Holy Spirit and not myself alone. The truth is I rest in God along with everyone in the dream of separate bodies. Waking up from the dream is the one goal the Holy Spirit has for us. I wake up as I am willing to follow and let go of the past. It is through accepting the gift of peace that I can hear Holy Spirit’s inner direction. Accepting peace brings me what I really want and helps to lift the veil, showing me the truth about everyone. I will step back and let Him lead the way.
