Karen Casey, Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course:
“Nothing is ever missing from our lives but our awareness of God.”
“When the house payment is overdue and our children are truant from school and the job we so desperately wanted went to someone else, it’s not easy to believe that all we need is to remember God. The other problems seem so real. And in one respect they are. We do have to acknowledge them and decide on a plan of action. But we don’t have to keep our focus on “poor me.” Instead, we can recall that the Holy Spirit, God’s gift to us, will comfort us and give us guidance.
Whatever is happening around us doesn’t have to determine how we feel. We can feel consistently happy and secure, even in the most troubling of times, if we remember we are partners with God, that the Holy Spirit is always present, and that all our experiences serve to teach us. We need not be scared or angry, ever. All is well.
Knowing that God never went away reminds us that when we feel alone, it is only we have turned away. The solution is simply to turn back.”
“Today I will say to God,
“Here I am. Tell what to do. I’ll not be ignored.”
Marianne Williamson, A Year of Daily Wisdom: “There is no such thing as an idle thought. All thought creates form on some level. Nothing can deprive us of our own creativity. We are personally responsible for what direction we apply it in.”
Hugh Prather, Morning Notes: “Awareness of God doesn’t give me a charmed life. It gives me awareness of God. There is no reward in the world for our spiritual progress. The Eternal doesn’t comp us with more and more things that always change. Spirit doesn’t give me the unspiritual, and God doesn’t ‘bless’ me with money for thinking the right thoughts. In fact, trying to use my mind to acquire is always anxiety provoking. It should be obvious that only everlasting gifts can come from the Everlasting. So I can stop and look around for my spiritual perks. That alone should eliminate a major distraction to spiritual focus.”
Wayne Dyer, There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem: “You cannot have God and have fear too. Every fear represents a disbelief in God at that moment.”
Paul Ferrini, Reflections of The Christ Mind: “You are God’s child, even as I am. All that is good and true about God is good and true about you. Accept this fact, even for an instant, and your life would be transformed. Accept this about your sister, even in this single moment, and all conflict between you would end.”
Unity’s Daily Word:
“My mind and body are expressions of divine life.
I radiate health.”
“Divine life, the source of energy and healing, is active within me. Centered on this truth, I send a message of life and rejuvenation to every cell, organ, and function of my being. The response of my entire body is one of renewal. I am an expression of divine life, and therefore, I radiate health.”
“As I visualize divine life aglow at the core of my being, I claim health and healing. With each life-affirming word that I speak aloud or silently, I envision the glow of healing energy within me growing and spreading throughout my body.”
“Bathed in healing energy, my body radiates health. My mind is aglow with the light of wisdom. Wholeness and holiness are mine to claim, and I do.”
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 86
Review Lessons 71 and 72
Lesson 71 – “Only God’s plan for salvation will work.”
Lesson 72 – “Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.”
This lesson is repeated so often in my life! Only the plan God has will work for me. I try and try and then try more to make a plan that will insure my salvation. I look to others for my salvation. I believe I need and want something that will give me the salvation I seek. Again and again, and then again, I remember that only God’s plan will work. When I hold thoughts of fear, thoughts of grievances, within my mind, I am attacking the plan God has for me. God’s plan withstands all my attacks, but I am so blinded by my fear that I fail to see clearly.
