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. There are no exceptions because God has no exceptions. And the Voice which speaks for Him thinks as He does.
The recognition of your own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors, but it is hardly a sufficient one in giving you the confidence which you need, and to which you are entitled. You must also gain an awareness that confidence in your real strength is fully justified in every respect and in all circumstances.
…try to 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. Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. 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.
During the day, repeat [God is the strength in which I trust] often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. 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.47.3;6-8. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)
If we want to wake up from the dream of fear and guilt, we need to turn away from the ego as our advisor. The ego is the denial of God’s strength and Love. Believing we know how to correct anything in our lives on our own is the ego’s misdirection. The practice of turning to the strength and peace of God within us is the way out of the ego’s hell of fear and guilt.
Today we acknowledge to ourselves that we do not know what anything means nor what is truly helpful in each present moment. We remind ourselves that trust in the strength of God within us opens our mind to the direction of the Holy Spirit, which will always lead us back to Heaven.
