Release from Our Self-Made Prison

God’s answer is some form of peace. All pain
is healed; all misery replaced with joy.
All prison doors are opened. And all sin
is understood as merely a mistake.

Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. ²We have misunderstood all things. ³But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. ⁴What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. ⁵Such are we. ⁶And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. ⁷Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. ⁸Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. ⁹Help us forgive, for we would be at peace. (A Course in Miracles, W-359. See also ACIM Lesson 359 Insights.)

Over and over, in many ways, the Course tells us that we are not what we think we are. In truth we remain eternally united with God’s Love as His holy Son. This fact cannot be changed because God’s Love never changes. This is our assurance that we remain held safely in His Love, invulnerable to dreams of sin, guilt, fear and hate. We can count on this invulnerability as the foundation of our release from dreams of separation. What is not real can have no effect on Reality.

The prayer in this lesson expresses willingness to receive the healing forgiveness offers. It reminds us that we have Help to forgive, even the things we think are unforgivable. Let’s join together affirming this prayer to bring release from our self-made prison and awaken to the Love we are in God.
