ACIM Lesson 362 Contemplation

"This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace."

This lesson continues the theme of surrendering to the Holy Spirit's guidance, emphasizing the importance of trusting in His direction for peace. It teaches that by giving each instant to God, we open ourselves to receive whatever we need, whether it be a word, a thought, or simply stillness and a tranquil mind. This practice helps us align with God's Will, letting go of our ego's need for control and embracing the peace that comes from following God's guidance.
