ACIM Lesson 71 Exercise

"Only God's Plan For Salvation Will Work" Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.

Welcome to Active Meditation,

A Course in Miracles,

Lesson 71.

Only God's plan for salvation will work.

Spend a few moments thinking about today's idea.

Only God's plan for salvation will work.

Ask God these questions.

Then,

Be quiet and wait for an answer.

First question.

What would you have me do?

Now,

Inquire,

Where would you have me go?

And finally,

What would you have me say?

And to whom?

Ask this.

Wait for an answer.

God will answer in proportion to your willingness to hear God's voice.

Refuse not to hear.

The very fact that you are doing the exercises proves that you have some willingness to listen.

This is enough to establish your claim to God's answer.

Tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation,

And only God's,

Will work.

Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today,

And to respond to them with this form of today's idea.

Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation,

And only God's plan will work.

Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation,

And only God's plan will work.

Try to remember today's idea some six or seven times an hour.

There could be no better way to spend a half a minute or less than to remember only God's plan for salvation will work.

What would you have me do?

Where would you have me go?

What would you have me say,

And to whom?

Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for salvation,

And only God's plan will work.

Let's take some time to give God full charge,

And let God tell you what needs to be done by you and the plan for your salvation.

Let's take a moment to give God full charge.

Let's take a moment to give God full charge.

Let's take a moment to give God full charge.

Let's take a moment to give God full charge.

Only God's plan for salvation will work.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
