Your peace is with me, Father. I am safe.
Your peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your peace to those who suffer pain, or grieve for loss, or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son, as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.
And so we go in peace. To all the world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice for God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word; Whose Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has given unto us. (, A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 245,W-pII.245. See also ACIM Lesson 245 Insights.)
Another Workbook Lesson tells us that God goes with us wherever we go. That is why His peace is always with us. But we must be willing to accept His gift of peace or its presence remains unknown to us.
The invitation for our Father to send us those who need to feel God’s peace is a gift, for the practice of offering peace to a distressed brother reinforces for us the awareness that God’s peace is within us now. The more we practice remembering His peace within us and extend that peace to our brothers, the more we learn that we can count on God’s peaceful Presence in every moment.
This is the lesson we must learn to free ourselves from the ego’s messages of fear and guilt. Our true Self is united with our Creator in His peace. This can never change. But because of our long-time dedication to the ego’s goal of separation from our Creator, we need to frequently affirm that God’s peace is with us to open our minds to accept God’s Presence. This is how we build confidence that we are always safe in God’s changeless peace. This is how we teach what we need to learn.
