“We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world’s appearances. ²We ask for peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. ³We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow.”
“I rest in God.” ²This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. ³“I rest in God.” ⁴This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is.
You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to draw them to their rest, along with you. ²You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. ³Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you. (A Course in Miracles, W-109.1:1-3;2:1-4;8. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)
It’s exhausting to deny our unity with Love and maintain an illusion of a separate identity. The illusion of the body has to be rested every day. But the most important rest we can take is to rest in God. This rest revitalizes us because it reminds us of the Life we live in God. This is our real Life, our only true Life.
We can pause for moments throughout the day today to remind ourselves to rest in God. This pause will revitalize our connection with our Source. It helps us let Love guide all our doing. This is our practice today. It is how we will remember the Love we are, and see the Love every brother is. When we rest in God, we rest in His peace and joy.
