What if we are here to experience grace in difficult situations and challenging times? To see everything as a call for help and love. Based on a verse from A Course in Miracles, this meditation opens the heart to God’s Grace. “By grace, I live. By grace, I receive. Grace is the acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear.” (Lesson 169)

Breathing in love and breathing out fear.

Breathing into your spirit and breathing out your ego mind.

Calling your spirit to you,

Calling God's spirit to you.

Inviting the presence of love and peace into your heart.

And with your breath just allowing yourself to settle into your body,

Into the chair and relax.

Breathing in and breathing out.

Your focus is inward.

Your awareness on your breath.

This moment,

This breath.

Connecting to your spiritual heart.

You could put a hand there at the center of your chest.

Begin to breathe into the spiritual heart.

Where you can feel the presence of God's peace and love and grace.

By grace I live,

By grace I receive.

Grace is given me,

I claim it now.

For in grace I see a light that covers all the world in love.

And watch fear disappear from every face.

As hearts rise up and claim the light.

By grace I live,

By grace I receive.

I accept the love of God within this world of seeming hate and fear.

By grace these fears are gone.

And I go to a place so opposite to everything the world contains.

And I sit in this space where there's only love and truth of what is real.

Breathing in and out of the heart.

Try on just saying the word grace over and over as a mantra.

Just notice how you feel as you invite this state of pure love and acceptance into your heart.

Grace,

Grace,

Grace.

I'm here to experience grace.

Trusting in a loving,

Higher source.

Only has my greatest good in mind.

That I am loved,

Forgiven,

Innocent.

And I just allow myself to fall back in the arms of grace.

Be held in this love,

In this acceptance.

By one who can guide me and show me the way to the world.

Show me the way through these challenging times.

Through sickness and pain.

When I'm beating myself up.

When I'm frustrated with others.

And allow grace to enter my heart and heal me and my mind.

So I invite you to put into your heart a situation where you need grace.

And sit with it there in the presence of God,

The presence of the Holy Spirit.

And allow grace to enter.

Ask for it.

Allow it,

Receive it.

Sometimes it helps to write out the situation in a journal and ask for grace that way.

And just let yourself write out whatever the spirit wants to channel to you,

Offer you as a gift.

Or a new perception or a way to handle it.

And sometimes just sitting in the heart and allowing it to come.

As a feeling or a state of being.

You can choose whichever you like in this moment now.

Amen.

Amen.

Breathing in and out of your heart.

Again,

Staying with the state of grace.

Even if you don't know if you're feeling it or know what it is.

Allow yourself to just keep asking for it.

By grace I live,

By grace I receive.

Grace has given me now and I claim it now.

Amen.

I hold my mind open to the Holy Spirit's interpretation of everything I see.

I let the light enter my mind so I can forgive and see everything as a call for help or love.

And I am free.

I am free of this world and all that appears to be wrong and terrible.

And I bless it with my holiness.

With my loving perception.

As I go out in the world and be love.

And offer grace and extend light out to people.

I am free where I see those I like and those I dislike,

Those I want to help and those who I fear.

Allowing myself to be in the mystery of life.

Humbling myself to not knowing what is for the highest good.

Surrendering my perceptions and my judgments.

As I forgive everything and everyone,

Including myself.

That I know here in this moment the presence of God,

Of Spirit in my heart.

In this place,

Knowing I am home and free and taken care of.

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you God.

Thank you.
