The One Thought We Share with God

Peace to my mind. Let all my thoughts be still.

Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. ²I come in silence. ³In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. ⁴My Father, speak to me today. ⁵I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.

Now do we wait in quiet. ²God is here, because we wait together. ³I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. ⁴Accept my confidence, for it is yours. ⁵Our minds are joined. ⁶We wait with one intent; to hear our Father’s answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His Son. (A Course in Miracles, W-221.1:1–2:6. See also ACIM Lesson 221 Insights.)

Most of us experience a constant stream of thoughts in our mind. The Course tells us we are far too tolerant of mind wandering. The attention we give to the thoughts that stream in our mind blocks us from being aware of the one Thought we think with God.

God’s singular Thought, which He shares with His Son, is the Thought of Love. Within this Thought is the greatest joy and deepest peace that we could possibly experience. It is the condition in which our true Self dwells in the Heart of God. In every instant God welcomes us into His Home. But we must be willing to set aside the ego’s stream of distracting thoughts, even if it’s only for an instant. We prepare for this instant by quieting our mind, stepping back from the chaos of the world.

As we let the peace of God that dwells in us come forward in our mind, we join with the Holy Spirit’s Love that also dwells in every brother. In peace we experience God’s gift of Love’s oneness. We feel His strength supporting us. We remember we are being carried by His Love. Our hearts overflow with gratitude for God’s gifts. The Light of Love shines all around us and we experience the real world forgiveness reveals to us.

Today we seek to join with God’s one Thought. It will be a day blessed by Love.
