Letting Go of Disturbances to Our Peace of Mind

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. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 273, W-pII.273.2. See also ACIM Lesson 273 Insights.)

Any time our peace of mind is disturbed, it’s a sure sign that we are believing in the ego thought system of separation. We are believing in a false idea that could never be true. Fortunately we have an antidote to help us correct this mistaken belief.

The moment we recognize that we are disturbed in any way, we need to redirect our attention to the Voice for God within. By reminding ourselves, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” we are telling ourselves to turn away from the false idea and opening our minds to correction. With a receptive mind we can be shown the peace that lies beyond the disturbance, the Love that is beyond the fear, the joy that is beyond the sadness of this world.

This practice is the path that leads us to our true Home in Love.
