I give my life to God to guide today.
Father, I give You all my thoughts today. ²I would have none of mine. ³In place of them, give me Your Own. ⁴I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings. ⁵Today I come to You. ⁶I will step back and merely follow You. ⁷Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me.
Today we have one Guide to lead us on. ²And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. ³This is His day. ⁴And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us. (A Course in Miracles, W-233. See also ACIM Lesson 233 Insights.)
The ego is the guide to conflict, fear and anger. God is the Guide to peace and eternal, limitless Love. It seems the choice of which guide to follow would be obvious. But we have taught ourselves to value specialness ahead of Love’s oneness. This wish for specialness requires vigilance to maintain the appearance that it is possible to have more than everything. Only with illusions can this appearance be maintained.
Yet beyond the illusions, the reality of Love remains unchanged and ever present. If we are willing, God will guide us with His Voice out of the quagmire of illusions we have made. With willingness to let go of treasured illusions, the Love in which we live is revealed.
We are indeed loved beyond measure. Today we can choose to let God guide our way to the remembrance of the Love in which we live.
