I need but call and You will answer me.
I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. ²For God has promised He will hear my call, and answer me Himself. ³Let me but learn from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must surely come to me. ⁴This is the faith that will endure, and take me farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. ⁵For thus I will be sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I need to come to Him.
Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my experience, if I but test them out. ²Let me attempt therefore to try them, and to judge them not. ³Your Word is one with You. ⁴You give the means whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained at last. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 327. See also ACIM Lesson 327 Insights.)
God gave us His Voice to guide us on our return to our Home with Him in Heaven. But we must be willing to listen. That is the last thing the ego would want us to do. It bombards us with myriad distracting thoughts that keep us preoccupied with the thought system of separation.
We can break free from the ego’s imprisoning thoughts, but it takes vigilance and practice. We need to be vigilant to recognize fear-based thoughts and ask the Holy Spirit to heal them. This is a daily minute-by-minute practice. The more we recognize thoughts that disturb our peace and ask the Holy Spirit for His help to see the truth beyond the ego’s perceptions, the more peaceful our lives will be. We will increasingly experience the Love we are and the Love that joins us with every brother.
As we begin this practice, we may only occasionally remember to ask the Holy Spirit’s help. Each time we remember to accept His help teaches us that we can count on His answer to our call. Our confidence in His guidance grows. Success motivates willingness. We remember more and more frequently to ask for Holy Spirit’s guidance. It is worth the practice.
