Steady our feet, our Father. Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.
So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us [God is but Love, and therefore so am I] to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 171, W-pI.V.Int.2-3. See also ACIM Lesson 171 Insights.)
All of God’s strength is ours. Yet when we identify with the ego, we feel weak and full of doubt. We have given ourselves a false persona that is separate and alone, seemingly at the mercy of outside forces we cannot control.
To remember that all of God’s strength and Love is ours, we must give up our false persona. Thankfully, we have the Holy Spirit, our true Self, to lead us out of identifying with a false self-image back to the experience of being Love and nothing else.
The moment by moment practice of being open to the Holy Spirit’s vision of everything we look upon, of all our thoughts, is the way we let go of the false and welcome the truth that we are Love and nothing else. We remain as Love created us.
