If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful. What can you predict or control? What is there in you that can be counted on? What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve them in such a way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?
Of yourself you can do none of these things.
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. …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 47, W-pI.47.1;2:1;3:1-2;7:1-2,4-6;8:3. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)
The strength of God is in us, guaranteed by our Creator. But our allegiance to the ego, which denies God, leaves us feeling weak, vulnerable, unloved and unworthy. All this comes only because we are denying God’s gift of all of Himself. It is time to deny the ego’s denial.
We are assured that we have not lost God’s strength. It remains in us now, available to be claimed in every moment. We have a process to follow to reclaim the strength we have denied.
Pause and step back from the chaos and uncertainty of the world. We let our minds return to the place in us where God’s strength abides, never to be lost. As we welcome His peace, our minds are open to His Voice. We will be told exactly what to do and say from the Holy Spirit’s perspective. He knows how to lead us to full awareness of our safety, our comfort and our well being.
Today we choose peace, for we would accept God’s strength as our own.
