Mary:
Today my practice is to let go of all desire to see separation as real. This means my focus today is on letting go of wanting anything to show up in a particular form. I see that this practice of letting go of wanting certain special forms is what it takes to let go of specialness.
My practice for today involves letting go of what I think anything means. This is not easy, as I find myself coming back again and again to giving certain forms special meaning. And so I take this moment right now to practice handing over all that I think I know to the Holy Spirit to be transformed.
As I practice this I gently receive the peace of God. I am reminded that this is what it means to let go and let God. The Light of the Holy Spirit will replace all false ideas as I am willing to step back and let the Holy Spirit lead the way. The truth is all that I really need God has already given me. Am I willing to accept God’s Plan, or do I want something else? My practice for today is to let go of desiring something else. Today my mantra is, “I place the future in the Hands of God.”
Robert:
To rest in God I must trust in Him. I must trust that what He wants for me is what I want. A Course in Miracles tells me that my real will is the same as God’s Will. But if I think I want something else, then I will be afraid of God’s Will and I will not trust in Him. If I think I have a different will, I will not trust God. I will be afraid that He will demand that I give up something I treasure. It is the insane notion that there is anything other than God’s Will that could content me or make me happy that needs to be let go. The Course reminds me that God’s Will for me is perfect happiness. What more could I want?
So today I ask the Holy Spirit to help me recognize the false ideas of what I think will make me happy so that I can make way, with His help, for what will bring me lasting perfect happiness. This is what I really want. This is how I can accept the future God offers me.
