ACIM Lesson 342 Prayer

"I let forgiveness rest upon all things, for thus forgiveness will be given me."

This lesson emphasizes that forgiveness is the key to unlocking true peace and happiness. It teaches that when we choose to forgive all things, we allow forgiveness to be given to us as well, freeing us from the hell of our own making. We are encouraged to recognize that the world we see is a dream, and by forgiving, we let creation be as God intended it to be—innocent and sinless. By embracing forgiveness, we stand at the gate of Heaven, ready to enter and experience the peace and joy that come from aligning with God's love.

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 342 I let forgiveness rest upon all things,

For thus forgiveness will be given to me.

I thank you,

Father,

For your plan to save me from the hell I made.

This hell is not real.

Father,

You gave me the means to prove the unreality of hell to me.

The key is in my hand.

I have reached the door,

Beyond which lies the end of dreams.

As I stand before the gate of heaven,

Wondering if I should enter in and be at home,

Father,

Let me not wait again today.

Let me forgive all things.

Father,

Let creation be as you would have it be,

And as it is.

Father,

Let me remember that I am your child.

Father,

As I open the door at last,

I forget illusions in the blazing light of truth,

As the memory of you returns to me.

My friend,

Forgive me now.

I come to you to take you home with me.

My friend,

As we go home,

The world goes with us on our way to God.

I let forgiveness rest upon all things,

For thus forgiveness will be given to me.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
