Lesson 239

The glory of my Father is my own.

Thank you, Father, for the light that shines forever in us.

Lesson 238

On my decision all salvation rests.

Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self.

Lesson 237

Now would I be as God created me.

I allow the light in me to shine.

Lesson 236

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

I have a kingdom I must rule. At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. And yet it has been given to me to serve whaterever, purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to emply as He sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the Will of God.

Lesson 235

God's Will is that I be saved.

I have no guilt nor sin in me, for there is none in You.

Lesson 234

Father, Today I am Yours.

Today we will anticipate the holy peace we never left.

Lesson 233

I give my life to God to guide today.

I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. I give you all my acts as well, that I may do Your WIll, not mine.

Lesson 232

Be in my mind, my Father, through the day.

Today, practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you.

Lesson 231

Father, I will but remember You.

What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else; a something I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek, or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth about myself?

" Tolerance for pain may be high, but it is not without limit. Eventually everyone begins to recognize, however dimly, that there must be a better way. As this recognition becomes more firmly established, it becomes a turning point." (T-2. III.3:5-7).

Lesson 230: Now will I seek and find the peace of God

Now will I seek and find the peace of God.

(1) In peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is forever true?


Reality is changeless. Miracles but show what you have interposed between reality and your awareness is unreal, and does not interfere at all... Because reality is changless is a miracle already there to heal all things that change, and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. (T-30.VIII.4:1-2).

Lesson 229

Love is what I am.

Father, my thanks to You for what I am, and thank You for saving me from my foolish thoughts that my mind made up. Amen.

Lesson 228

(1:1-3) My Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny his knowledge, and believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as true what He proclaimed as false?

(2:1-2) Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from which I came, I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go today. And I stand ready to receive your Word alone for what really am.

"Thoughts that are not born and cannot die. They share the attributes of their creator, no have they a separate life apart from his. The thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are in the Mind which thought of you." (T-30, III.6:5-7)

Lesson 227

This is my holy instant of release.

Today I am free, because my will is Yours. Nothing that I thought apart from You exists. I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. I know my will is one with Yours.

Lesson 226

My home awaits me. I will hasten there.

My home awaits my glad return. Your Arms are open and I hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine?

Lesson 225

God is my Father, and His Son loves Him.

I must return Your Love for me, giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your Love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind and keeping it within its kindly light, inviolate, beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You!

Lesson 224

God is my Father, and He loves His Son.

My Name is known to You. I have forgotten It, do not know where I'm going, who I am, or what I do. Remind me, now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead.

Lesson 223

God is my life. I have no life but His.

Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. Guilt proclaims that we are not Yours. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Yours.

Lesson 222

God is with me. I live and move in Him.

Lesson 221

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.

I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and answer me.

Lesson 220

1. (200) There is no peace except the peace of God.

Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other roads than this. But let me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of God.

Lesson 219

1. (199) I am not a body. I am free.

I am God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this. And then return to earth, without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His Son.

Lesson 218

1. (198) Only my condemnation injures me.

My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad.

Lesson 217

1. (197) It can be but gratitude I earn.

Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due?

Lesson 216

1. (196) It can be but myself I crucify.

All that I do I do unto myself. if I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.

Lesson 215

1. (195) Love is the way I walk in gratitude.

The Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go.

Lesson 214

1. (194) I place the future in the Hands of God.

The past is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I free from both. For what God gives can only be for good. And I accept but what He gives as what belongs to me.
