A Course In Miracles Lesson 120

From my experience practicing the principles of A Course In Miracles, particularly Lesson 120, embracing the idea that I don't have to carry everything myself has been transformational. The constant urge to manage and control every aspect of life often led to stress and exhaustion. However, by adopting a posture of trust — trusting in a higher power and the natural flow of life — I've found a profound sense of relief and steadiness. The lesson emphasizes resting in God, which for me means letting go of tension rather than disengaging from life. This shift has helped me approach daily challenges with calmness and clarity, rather than resistance and anxiety. It’s a continual reminder that trying to fix or perfect myself is unnecessary because I am already as God created me. This realization encourages self-acceptance and reduces the harsh inner critic that often dominates my thoughts. To integrate these teachings, I’ve started a simple practice of pausing throughout the day — sometimes on the hour, sometimes on the half hour — to quietly affirm “I rest in God” or “I am as God created me.” These moments create a spiritual reset, helping me to release fear and sick illusions about myself, and to reconnect with a truer, more peaceful identity. For those on a similar journey, I recommend combining these affirmations with mindful breathing or gentle meditation. Over time, constantly reminding yourself to rest in God fosters healing and spiritual growth. It is remarkable how this practice nurtures a sense of wholeness and calm amidst life’s uncertainties. Trust and surrender are not signs of weakness but gateways to deeper strength and healing.
