Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible, Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.
And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s, in recognition that they are the same. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 307, W-pII.307.1-2. See also ACIM Lesson 307 Insights.)
The ego is an attempt to divorce God on the grounds of an unsatisfying relationship. Unable to get the specialness it demanded for an acceptable relationship, the ego attempted to make a separate will that excludes God and His Love. Because only the oneness of Love is real, the ego could only seem to accomplish its demand in a dream. Our identification with the ego makes the dream appear real while the reality of eternal Love is hidden by denial.
This lesson is reminding us that a dream does not change reality. The ego’s wish is not our will. Our true will is the same as God’s Will. It has never changed, being eternally united with God. When we remember and accept the Will we share with God, all appearances of conflict and loss disappear. We awaken to the eternal now of changeless Love. We are released from the past and the future is in the Hands of Love. This is true forgiveness.
Today we join with the Voice for Love to look past the misperceptions of conflict and loss to the certainty of Love. With this choice we step into the peace and joy of Heaven.
