Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.
So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Review V, W-pI.V.2-3. See also ACIM Lesson Review V-L171 Insights.)
When a child is learning to walk, at first he stumbles, his steps waver and he doesn’t always walk in a straight line. Yet a loving parent stays with the child, providing support and guidance as it is helpful. With practice the child learns to walk steadily on his own.
Likewise, our Father is always there for us. He does not judge us when our steps falter or we wander off to explore something that got our attention off the path to Him. He stays with us, always offering His support with Love, compassion and gentleness far beyond our experience in the world. We can count on His eternal Presence when we have doubts and fears. His Help is always offered, never withdrawn. It waits only on our acceptance.
Today we would accept His Help that we may grow strong with His strength within us to walk in the way of Love and extend It to all our brothers.
