365 Days of Love and Miracles with Arlene Geres

Lesson 185 from the workbook of A Course in Miracles


Listen Later

"I want the peace of God....To mean you want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams...The mind which means that all it wants is peace must join with other minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it is given, in a form each mind that seeks for it in honesty can understand...Let us today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We want the peace of God....Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your mind, to find the dreams you cherish still. What do you ask for in your heart? Forget the words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe will comfort you, and bring you happiness.... And being one, one question should be asked of all of them, "Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of God?"...No compromise is possible in this. You choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams...No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it...For you was peace created, given you by its Creator, and established as His Own eternal gift. How can you fail, when you but ask for what He wills for You? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of truth....It is this one intent we seek today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the call of every mind the hope that lies beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that have has sought to sever, but which still remains as God created it. With Help like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given us?" (W185)
