Remembering the Condition of Our True Self

“I rest in God.” ²Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. ³There is no suffering it cannot heal. ⁴There is no problem that it cannot solve. ⁵And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.

This is the day of peace. ²You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate your rest remains completely undisturbed. ³Yours is the rest of truth. ⁴Appearances cannot intrude on you. ⁵You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. ⁶They will not hear another voice than yours because you gave your voice to God, and now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you.

In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future and no past regrets. ²In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any way at all. (A Course in Miracles, W-109.3:1–5:2. See also ACIM Lesson 109 Insights.)

Our true Self has never left the presence of God, being forever united with Him. Reminding ourselves, “I rest in God” is acknowledging our true state. This lesson reminds us the condition of our one Self that is eternally true.

When we identify with the ego, the conditions of our rest in God described here seem like wishful thinking, a fantasy that is out of reach. But truth dispels the ego’s illusions. This is why reminding ourselves that we rest in God is an important practice. It helps us shake loose from our mistaken identification with the ego.

This is not a fantasy. It is the truth about our Self now. This practice prepares our mind to forgive our illusions and accept the truth that we remain as God created us.
