Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. ²There is no other will for me to have. ³Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. ⁴Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. ⁵If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible, Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.
And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s, in recognition that they are the same. (A Course in Miracles, W-307.1–2. See also ACIM Lesson 307 Insights.)
Conflict is impossible in the oneness of Love. But the wish for specialness demands that differences be real to establish uniqness. Conflict and loss of peace are the inevitable effects of the wish for specialness.
If we want to be happy and at peace, we must forgive the wish to be special. We must let go of our denial of the Will we share with God. In truth, our heart’s desire is to extend the Love that God has given His Son, our true Self.
Today we use the prayer in this Lesson to acknowledge the Will we share with God. We will find great joy in extending His Love to the world. And our minds will return to the peace that is its natural state.
