ACIM Lesson 261 Prayer

"God is my refuge and security."
This lesson emphasizes finding true safety and comfort in God rather than in worldly things or the body. It teaches that we often mistakenly seek security in external sources, but our genuine refuge lies in our connection with the Divine. The lesson encourages us to release our attachment to false identities and remember our Higher Self as created by God. By recognizing God as our ultimate source of strength and peace, we can let go of fear and attack thoughts, finding everlasting security in our spiritual identity.

Lesson 261 God is my refuge and security.

I will identify with what I think is refuge and security.

I will behold myself where I perceive my strength.

I will behold myself where I think I live within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked.

Let me today seek not security in danger.

Let me not attempt to find my peace in murderous attack.

I live in God.

In God I find my refuge.

I find my strength.

In God is my identity.

In God is everlasting peace.

Only in God will I remember who I really am.

I choose to be as you created me.

Father,

I choose to find the child whom you created as my higher self.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
