I rest in God.

* Even when things are chaotic and up in the air (like they are now for me) I rest I the witness that I have that God IS and that HE Alone decides how things are. I do not, you do not, your neighbors do not.

1. We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world’s appearances.

* You can live with this continually when you know that God IS.

²We ask for peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams.

* And the storms are going to get wilder as the clashing dreams are exposed for what they are and we are able to choose God above all else.

³We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow.

* We remember that God IS. That we are still in Him as we always have been and that happiness is knowing this is true for all that is throughout the Sonship.

⁴And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request.

2. “I rest in God.”

²This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek.

³“I rest in God.”

⁴This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is.
