Peace to my mind. Let all my thoughts be still.
Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.
Now do we wait in quiet. God is here, because we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent; to hear our Father’s answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His Son. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 221, W-pII.221. See also ACIM Lesson 221 Insights.)
The Course emphasizes the importance of going to the quiet place within. The chaos of the ego’s world interferes with the Voice of God, which is constantly calling us Home to Love.
In the Manual for Teachers it tells us to start the day with God. God is not found in the chaos of the world, but in the quiet of our mind, where the busyness of the day is set aside and the peace of God’s Love fills our mind. Here His Voice speaks to us of God’s Love. It teaches us that we are united with Him in this Love and reminds us that every brother is joined with us in Love’s oneness. From this place of safety, happiness and peace, we return to the world refreshed, strengthened and with clearer vision to see the truth beyond the forms of the world.
We keep in touch with this peaceful place throughout the day by pausing frequently to step back for a moment and reconnect with the peace within. We open our mind to inspiration. This practice makes every day a happier day, a more peaceful day, and leads us forward on our journey of awakening. Let us join in this practice today.
