Conflicting wishes cannot be my will.
Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. ²There is no other will for me to have. ³Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. ⁴Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. ⁵If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible, Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.
And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s, in recognition that they are the same. (A Course in Miracles, W-307. See also ACIM Lesson 307 Insights.)
God gave His Will to His Son. The ego views His Will as an imposition, not a gift. That is because the ego is the idea of imposing a different will on the Son of God. When we identify with the ego, it lets us see only its own imposed beliefs that deny the Love and peace of God. This mistaken identification is the source of all our pain and unhappiness.
It is God’s Will that we, His one Son, share all His joy, peace and Love. We need only forgive our mistaken wish for a unique identity to remember that our Will is one with our Creator’s Will. In the dream of separation, we feel a need to recover the peace and Love we believe we have lost. Yet It remains ours forever. When we accept our true Identity, we know that we live in Love.
