Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.
You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 41, W-pI.41.3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 41 Insights.)
When there seems to be too many things to do, too many decisions to make, too much to organize, my mind seems to go into overwhelm and then “lock down” mode. It seems that withdrawal is the best protection. This is a typical ego solution to a perceived problem. Being the idea of separation, it believes further separation is a solution.
Thankfully, there is a better way. It calls for the opposite response. Instead of withdrawing, we need to open our minds and hearts to the peace of God that goes with us wherever we go. God’s wisdom goes with us wherever we go. His Love and strength go with us wherever we go.
When we reconnect with God and remember He is always with us, we recognize our unity with All That Is. Withdrawal and isolation are replaced with joining and the recognition that our mighty Companion is present now and always. We can relax in the certainty of His loving guidance and His care. His vision shows us the changelessness beyond the appearance of chaos. We can let fear thoughts pass by with gentle laughter as we remember God goes with us wherever we go.
