Sharing God’s Peace with the World

We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world’s appearances. We ask for peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow.

You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to draw them to their rest, along with you. You will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy sanctuary where you rest. Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the world, and near as well; your dis­tant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all enter here and rest with you.

You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take his rest, and offer it to you. We rest together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves, “I rest in God.” (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 109, W-pI.109.1:1-3;8-9. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)

In quietness, every perceived problem is quietly resolved. When we choose to rest in God, we are choosing His peace instead of the ego’s chaotic dream of isolation and lovelessness. All our fears, anxiety, sadness, guilt and anger fade away when we accept God’s gift of peace, happiness and Love. Love is what we are. Peace is an attribute of Love; it is our natural state.

We rest in God’s peace when we forgive a perception that denies Love. When anything disturbs our peace, it is time to pause to rise above the disturbing perception and ask the Holy Spirit to heal our fear-based thought. As we relax into God’s peace, we open our mind to the Holy Spirit’s true perception.

We bring healing to the world when we accept this changed perception and share it. The blessing we receive is shared with everyone around the world. Let us join together in sharing the blessing of God’s peace.
