Welcome to Active Meditation.
A Course in Miracles Lesson 109 I rest in God.
We ask for rest today,
And quietness unshaken by the world's appearances.
We ask for peace and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams.
We ask for safety and for happiness.
Although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow,
And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request.
I rest in God.
This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet,
Peace and stillness,
And the safety and the happiness you see.
Repeat in your mind,
I rest in God.
I rest in God.
This is the day of peace.
You rest in God,
And while the world is torn by winds of hate,
Your rest remains completely undisturbed.
Yours is the rest of truth.
Appearances cannot intrude on you.
In God,
You have no cares and no concerns,
No burdens,
No anxiety,
No pain,
No fear of future,
And no past regrets.
In timelessness,
You rest,
While time goes by without its touch upon you,
For your rest can never change in any way at all.
You rest today.
Think into stillness.
Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your mind that all its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of fever that has passed away.
Let your mind be still and thankfully accept its healing.
No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God.
Take time today to slip away from dreams and into peace.
Say to yourself,
Repeat several times in your mind,
I rest in God.
I rest in God.
Remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the world,
That the world might take its rest along with you.
With each five minutes that you rest today,
The world is nearer,
Waking.
You rest within the peace of God today,
Quiet and unafraid.
Each brother and sister comes to take their rest and offer it to you.
We rest together here,
For thus our rest is made complete,
And what we give today we have received already.
Time is not the guardian of what we give today.
We give to those unborn and those passed by,
To every thought of God and to the mind in which these thoughts were born and where they rest.
And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves,
I rest in God.
I rest in God.
Nothing real can be threatened,
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
