God is With Me. I Live and Move In Him.


God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks today!



Father, we have no other words except Your name upon our lips and in our minds, as we come quietly into Your Presence now, and ask to rest with You in peace a while.

The Peace of God is Shining in Me Now

Sit quietly and close your eyes.
The light within you is sufficient.

It alone has power to give the gift of sight to you.

Exclude the outer world,
and let your thoughts fly
to the peace within.
They know the way.

We take our wandering thoughts,
and gently bring them back
to where they fall in line with
all the thoughts we share with God.
.
We let the light within our minds
direct them to come home.

We acknowledge
the peace of God
still shines in us, and from us
to all living things that share our live.

We will forgive them all,
albsolving the world from what
we thought it did to us.

Now we choose that it be innocent,
devoid of sin and open to salvation.

And we lay our saving blessing on it as we say:
.
The peace of God
is shining in me now.
Let all things shine upon me in that peace,
And let me bless them with the light in me.

Weekly healing project

The task assigned to the advanced teacher of God isthe healing of the Sonship.

We must remember alwaysthat only the healing of the mind is necessary. Inthat are all "individual" bodies healed and theSonship redeemed. We but offer healing and step back,leaving the results to the Holy Spirit. In thishealing is our own.Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It givesthe miracle its strength to overlook illusions.This is how you learn that you must be forgiven too.There can be no appearance that can not be overlooked.

Therefore, the project for this week is:

“We accept forgiveness today and recognize that it ismerited. In this are all healed.”

Simply hold this thought for at least two minutes andextend it outward to the Sonship.

The schedule is as follows:
  • Pacific Time: 12:00 pm
  • Mountain Time: 1:00 pm
  • Central Time 2:00 pm
  • Eastern Time 3:00 pm

"Whenever a teacher of God has tried to be a channelfor healing he has succeeded. Should he be tempted todoubt this, he should not repeat his previous effort.That was already maximal, because the Holy Spirit soaccepted it and so used it."

“Your patients need not be physically present for youto serve them in the Name of God. This may be hard toremember, but God will not have His gifts to youlimited to the few you actually see. You can seeothers as well, for seeing is not limited to thebody's eyes. Some do not need your physical presence.They need you as much, and perhaps even more, at theinstant they are sent. You will recognize them inwhatever way can be most helpful to both of you. Itdoes not matter how they come. They will be sent inwhatever form is most helpful; a name, a thought, apicture, an idea, or perhaps just a feeling ofreaching out to someone somewhere. The joining is inthe hands of the Holy Spirit. It cannot fail to beaccomplished.”
