If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful.
God is your safety in every circumstance. His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection. There are no exceptions because God has no exceptions.
…reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 47, W-pI.47.1:1;3:1-3;7:1-6. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)
The practice of taking time out from the chaos of the ego world is key to waking up from the dream of guilt and fear. The Course reminds us that there is a place within us where we know that we are perfectly safe and experience deep peace.
We need to regularly take time to let ourselves reach down into this place of deep peace and rest in it, however briefly. In this place of peace we are open to the Holy Spirit’s inspiration to guide us through our activities of the day. His vision will show us what really matters and what does not matter. His inspiration will always guide us on a gentler path that leads away from the ego’s path of conflict.
As we let the Holy Spirit guide, our doing in the world is used as a means to let go of guilt and extend Love. The Course encourages us to practice this at least daily. And hourly practice will further accelerate our healing and awakening to our true Nature of Love. This is our dedication for today.
