What Time Is For

Conflicting wishes cannot be my will. Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If 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 Workbook Lesson 307, W-pII.307. See also ACIM Lesson 307 Insights.)

The ego is in competition with God. It tries to make a will that denies God’s Love and our unbreakable unity with Him. Only in fantasies could this denial seem to exist. But fantasies are not real and therefore do not exist in truth. While we are engaged in fantasy, we are unaware of Reality, but Reality is not changed by our lack of awareness of It.

The moment we accept Reality, our fantasy disappears. We return to the awareness that we remain as Love created us. Love is the only Reality. Our true Self’s Will is to only be Love, which extends Itself without limit. This is the Will we share with God. This is what brings us indescribable joy and peace that cannot be disturbed.

Each time we forgive a judgment, we remove a barrier to accepting our true Will. Each time we let the Holy Spirit correct our mistaken perceptions, we take a step up the ladder that frees us from conflict and returns us to the peace of God. This practice is what time is for.
