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. (A Course in Miracles, W-rV.in.2:1–3:5)
This prayer reflects an attitude that is helpful for us to welcome the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, our true Self, our Father. It expresses our heart’s desire to find our way back to the Home we thought we left because of a mistaken wish for specialness. It reminds us that our Father is ever present to guide us and protect us, no matter how far we may believe we have wandered off. We are safe.
With this willingness to accept His help, our mind is open to be guided. We _want_ to remember that we remain Love as Love created us. We _want_ to remember our Father’s strength, which he gives without limit.
We are grateful for His comfort, which surrounds us and embraces us. We are grateful that our Father shares with us His peace and joy without limit.
