The stillness of the peace of God is mine.
Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.
Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 273, W-pII.273. See also ACIM Lesson 273 Insights.)
Here we have a simple process we can follow to awaken from the dream of separation. We need only be willing to be vigilant for any thought or perception that disturbs our peace of mind. The important followup to this recognition is the practice of offering the thought to the Holy Spirit with willingness to accept His help to see it with Christ’s vision. As we accept His gift, we take another step to the full experience of the peace of God in Heaven.
Only a habit of believing separation is real without question stands in the way of our peace. But habits can be changed, if we are willing. Today we affirm the fact that God gave us His peace. It is ours now. We are willing to accept His gift and awaken to Love.
