ACIM Lesson 238 Prayer

"On my decision, all salvation rests."

This lesson emphasizes the profound trust God places in us by giving us the power to choose salvation. It reminds us that we have the freedom to decide between listening to the ego or the Holy Spirit in our minds. The lesson acknowledges that God, who created us and knows us completely, has entrusted our salvation to our own hands. This responsibility extends not only to ourselves but also to how we perceive others, as we are given the power to heal the Children of God through our perception. By recognizing this trust and responsibility, we are encouraged to make decisions aligned with our true nature and God's will for our salvation.

Lesson 238 On My Decision,

All Salvation Rests.

Father,

Your trust in me has been so great,

I must be worthy.

Father,

You created me.

Father,

You know me as I am.

Father,

You placed your child's salvation in my hands.

Father,

You let your child's salvation rest on my decision.

Father,

I must be beloved of you indeed.

I must be steadfast in holiness as well.

Father,

I must be steadfast that you would give your child to me.

In certainty that your child is safe.

Your child,

Who is still a part of you.

Your child,

Who is mine because your child is my higher self.

And so,

Again today,

We pause to think how much our father loves us.

We pause to think how dear our father's child,

Created by his love,

Remains to him.

Today,

We pause to think how dear is our father's child,

Whose love is made complete in him.

Father,

You created me.

Father,

Your child is my higher self.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
