ACIM Lesson 258 Prayer

"Let me remember that my goal is God."
This lesson emphasizes the importance of training our minds to overlook trivial, senseless aims and remember that our sole goal is God. It teaches that the memory of God is already within us, but it's often obscured by our pursuit of worldly "toys and trinkets" that cause God's grace to shine unnoticed. The lesson encourages us to recognize that God is our only goal, and that we have no aim but to remember Him. It concludes by suggesting that by consistently redirecting our minds to this goal, we can uncover the memory of God that is always present within us.

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 258 Let me remember that my goal is God.

All that is needed is to train our minds.

To train our minds to overlook all little senseless aims.

To train our minds to remember that our goal is God.

Our memory of God is hidden in our minds.

Our memory of God is obscured by our pointless little goals,

Which offer nothing.

Our memory of God is hidden by goals which do not exist.

Shall we continue to allow God's grace to shine in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead?

God is our only goal.

God is our only love.

We have no aim but to remember God.

Father,

Our goal is only to follow in the way that leads to you.

We have no goal but this.

Father,

What could we want but to remember you?

Father,

What could we seek but our identity?

What could we want but to remember you?

Father,

My goal is only to follow in the way that leads to you.

Father,

What could I want but to remember you?

What could I seek but my true identity?

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
