Your Will Be Done in Us

Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation’s ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You, and cherish no beliefs of what we are, or Who created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it become a part of Heaven now. Amen. (A Course in Miracles W-pI.189.10)

The ego is a control freak — so much so that it made up a world to keep God out. It is no wonder that the ego incessantly directs us to plan for our future and defends against myriad potential threats. Loss of control is its greatest fear. If we identify with the ego, it’s no wonder that accepting God’s will seems like a sacrifice. Yet in order to be in control, the ego has sacrificed everything — all of God’s Love — to make its private little world made up of empty fantasies.

This world will never satisfy the Son of God, our true Self. The time has come to let go of this false image of ourselves and open our hands to receive the gifts of God already given us. The time has come to accept our true will, which is the same as God’s. As we accept His gifts, we remember that we are in Heaven now.
