Put all your faith in the
Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and
forever unfailing.
This is the answer to
whatever confronts you today. (ACIM W-pI.50.4:3-5)

Ownership

by Rev. Maura Williams, O.M.C.

Recently I had one of the most empowering insights I’ve had in quite a long time. I brought my pastor, Rev. John Vise, a copy of something I’d written for his feedback. He carefully read the words I’d written and quietly looked up at me and said, “Stop taking ownership of the ego.” He then used a highlighter and marked all the times I’d used the word “my” in reference to the ego. I had never noticed myself doing this, and had never thought about the implications of taking ownership of the ego.

When we take ownership of something, we believe we are responsible for it. It’s ours and we have to take care of it. The care and feeding of an ego is impossible. It has a voracious appetite for drama and is never, ever full. It always wants to see more sin, feel more guilt and feel more fear. In this way it proves that it is right and God is wrong.

Authentic Prayer — The Kind of Prayer That Works

by Rev. Joseph Wolfe, O.M.C.

I never really understood what genuine prayer really is. I used to think that to pray involved some measure of reverence — getting down on my knees and begging for some thing or some circumstance. Sometimes, though rarely, that kind of praying actually seemed to be effective, but most of the time I felt that I’d get better results beating on a dead horse. Usually for me prayer was a one way conversation, a plea or wish for something I thought I needed, something I wanted but didn’t have or a situation that I perceived would ‘make everything better’ if fulfilled.

Growing up, I observed many others praying in the same manner. From members of my family, to schoolmates and even entire church congregations, I saw what I perceived as the normal method of praying which was begging for stuff.

I went through many periods of time when I was downright angry and frustrated with praying. For the most part it didn’t seem to work. Many questions came up like who was I praying to and did “He” hear me or was “He” deliberately ignoring me? Did I do something to anger “Him” to the point that I was somehow unworthy of any answers to my prayers?

Prayer for Peace and Love

by Rev. Cheryl Hubbard

Connecting now to the Highest Power within
to center me, relax me and bring me peace.
While at the same time sharing that peace
with those in my immediate vicinity, my village,
my city, my province, my country.
Understanding there are no separate places,
only Unity and Oneness fills all space.

I allow Love and Peace to flow through
me to all people and all situations. Love
blankets everyone, everywhere. It flows across
every conflict in the world, enveloping it.

My Trip to Fantasy Land

by Rev. Linda Wisniewski, O.M.C.

Like all stories in the dream world of fantasy, this story of my trip to Disney World has a beginning, middle, and an end. And like all stories in the dream, it offers many opportunities for forgiveness that lead to awakening from the dream.

Beginning: My family which consists of my husband, two daughters, one son-in-law and 3 grandchildren ages 16, 12 and 10, went on a vacation to Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida for eight days. Everyone but me loves vacationing at Disney World. The 10 year old never was there and we all promised her that for her 10th birthday, she would get to go there. I used to look forward to vacations, but now I look forward to being in stillness and resting in God. So, I was not looking forward to this trip. In fact, I was dreading it. I was also dreading that I would be in a wheel chair because since I broke my hip a year ago, I knew I wouldn’t be able to walk the distances that Disney World and Universal Studios required.

Help to Change Our Mind

by Rev. Susan Smith, O.M.C.

“The patient [brother] must be helped to change his mind about the ‘reality’ of illusions.” (P.Int.1:8)

I have found most recently that I was drawn into a circle of “emotional disturbances” and I think that most of us can say that from time to time we get drawn into these circumstances that take our Peace away. Following is what I find to be most helpful when I find myself drawn into these emotional disturbances.

The Real Life

by Rev. Trish Kearns, O.M.C.

“God is the Light in Which I See.” (ACIM W-44)

I am in the process of working through Pathways of Light ACIM Practitioner course 908: Abundance Awareness. Part of this course has us review Lesson 44. After revisiting this Lesson for many days now, I am experiencing more and more of what this lesson means. I had recently found myself going into deep levels of despair and depression, from what I consider to be a state of limbo.  My telecommuting job seems to be done in the illusion; however I have not heard from Holy Spirit that it is time to resign.  Since making the decision to sell my Colorado home and move to Florida, my job responsibilities have grown ten-fold. I find myself working many days 10-15 hours without a break. I have been feeling very overwhelmed and confused about all this.
