ACIM Workbook Lesson #194 “I place the future in the Hands of God.”

It takes practice to let go. A mere 25 years ago, I still thought I was in control. It took a child's illness for me to realize I didn't have the power to bend life to my liking. In the space it took to hear a diagnosis, I had a change of heart. I'm sure I went through all the emotions associated with this sort of thing: sorrow, anger, blame, and so on. But I knew deep down that there was only one answer: to release my wants and desires, then listen deeply for guidance. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple." (Psalms:27:4) Sometimes I forget this. I'm happy to have this reminder today!
