Make Way for Peace

Mary:
In our reading of A Course in Miracles this morning, what stood out to me was prayer in Workbook Lesson 208:

I will be still and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness we will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. (ACIM W-pI.208.1:2-4)

This prayer reminds me that the peace of God is in my heart right now. It reminds me that as I am willing to be still, I find the peace of God. Here is my salvation. Here is everything I want. Today is devoted to accepting the stillness that lies within my heart. This is how I put God first.


Robert:
This prayer reminds me that

the peace of God is already in me. I can’t “make” peace; peace is an attribute of God’s creation. But to know the peace that is already in me, I need to be willing to step back from the turmoil of the world. I need to rise above the battleground and disconnect from the thought system of separation. There is no peace there.

But when I am willing to step back and let go, I make way for the peace that is always there to shine forth. So any time I notice that I am not at peace, it is time for me to step back, let go and rise above the battleground. It is not my battle and I no longer need to make it mine. I need only clear the way and peace will come of itself. So today I will practice stepping back and letting go to make way for peace, make way for God’s blessing.
