God goes with me wherever I go.
Today’s idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment all the separated ones experience. ²Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. ³So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss.
The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they believe to be “the ills of the world.” ²But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. ³Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real. ⁴The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. ⁵And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.
Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. ²It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.
You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. ²You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. ³You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. ⁴Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go. (A Course in Miracles, W-41.1:1–4:4. See also ACIM Lesson 41 Insights.)
The Course tells us repeatedly that the world we perceive through the body’s senses is not real. This is because we are so heavily invested in this mistaken belief that we need frequent reinforcement to help us let go of the belief that brings us only pain and loss. We have embraced a belief system that is built to defend its mistaken beliefs.
We cannot let it go without help from outside of our belief system. By God’s grace, we have been given the Holy Spirit as our Guide to freedom. He is aware of what we perceive, but does not believe it. When we are willing to pause and let peace return to our mind, He shows us the reality of Love that has been hidden by the images of separation.
The power of Love dispels the illusion, bringing relief to our troubled mind. Though we may let our limited beliefs close our mind again, each time we welcome His help, we are able to maintain our awareness of the Love we are a little longer. We remember our reality in the Love of God. It is worth the practice.
