Steady our feet, our Father. ²Let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. ³We have no words to give to You. ⁴We would but listen to Your Word, and make it ours. ⁵Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does not understand. ⁶Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the way for him.
So do we bring our practicing to You. ²And if we stumble, You will raise us up. ³If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. ⁴We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. ⁵Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. ⁶And we accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us. (A Course in Miracles, W-rV.in.2:1–3:6)
This prayer acknowledges that we need help to remember our Identity as God’s one Son. It proclaims our willingness to listen with an open mind.
This prayer helps neutralize the ego’s arrogance that proclaims it has made a world to its own liking. Our attachment to the ego brings with it a resistance to accepting God’s gift of all His Love. Yet this is the only gift that will bring us true happiness and lasting peace.
Each time we repeat this prayer, we are reminding ourselves to open to the healing of our mind that will free us from the limitations of the ego’s wish for specialness. It is a prayer of freedom and willingness to be as we were created.
