“The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength.” (ACIM W-pI.48.3:1)
If I am not perfectly at peace, fear has entered my mind and therefore I must be trusting in my own strength. God’s Will for me is perfect peace. If I experience anything less than that, I am denying God’s Will.
“Trusting in my own strength” is another way of saying that I am identifying with the ego as what I am. If I believe I am separate from God, I must be trusting in my own strength because I no longer have God’s strength available to me. I need only accept God’s gift of Himself to return to perfect peace.
Forgiveness is the means to accept His gift. This means letting go of all I think the world is. Today my prayer is to walk with Love and see with Love. This can be done only in the present instant in which the past has been let go. This is my practice today.
God is the strength in which I trust. I will give time today to sink down below the ego’s chatter to the place of perfect peace. Here I will receive everything I need. Here is the answer to every perceived problem.
