Strength Comes as We Trust God’s Voice

God is the strength in which I trust.

If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful. ²What can you predict or control? ³What is there in you that can be counted on? ⁴What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve them in such a way that only good can come of it? ⁵What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?

Of yourself you can do none of these things.

God is your safety in every circumstance. ²His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection.

³It is not by trusting yourself that you will gain confidence. ⁴But the strength of God in you is successful in all things.

The recognition of your own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors,… (A Course in Miracles, W-47.1:1–2:1;3:1-2;5:3–6:1. See also ACIM Lesson 47 Insights.)

The ego has a high opinion of its abilities, and believes that God has abandoned His children. Our choice to align with the ego’s thought system of separation makes us fear God. This fear makes the strength He has given to all His Creation unavailable to us. The ego believes that It is our only resource for solutions to our problems.

Our true Self has all the attributes of God — all His strength and Love. His knowledge is ours, but we are helpless to solve our perceived problems while we identify with the ego. Our mistaken beliefs have not changed the fact that the strength of God is in us, now and forever. As we accept God’s gifts, and listen to His Voice, we will share in His peace, joy and Love.
