“I rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is.
“The world is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the world, that it might take its rest along with you. (A Course in Miracles, W-pI.109.2:1-4;6:2)
We rest in God by accepting the truth of our Being. We were created by God, at one with Him and remain in Him. The truth is that we always rest in God, whether we are aware of it or not.
Affirming, “I rest in God,” is reminding ourselves of our natural eternal state. In this state we recognize that appearances are nothing and have no effect on What we are. Thus our peace is undisturbed and everyone is recognized as one with us. We welcome everyone into our boundless Love because they are part of the one Self we share.
This recognition heals the troubled mind that thought it was separate and alone. It releases all guilt and fear and returns us to the memory of our oneness with God, our Source. We experience the peace and joy of God.
