    Be in my mind, my Father, when
    I wake, and shine on me
    throughout the day today. Let
    every minute be a time in which
    I dwell with You. And let me not
    forget my hourly thanksgiving
    that You have remained with me,
    and always will be there to hear
    my call to You and answer me.
    As evening comes, let all my
    thoughts be still of You and of
    Your Love. And let me sleep sure
    of my safety, certain of Your
    care, and happily aware I am
    Your Son.

    Father, I give You all my
    thoughts today. I would have
    none of mine. In place of them,
    give me Your Own. I give You
    all my acts as well, that I may
    do Your Will instead of seeking
    goals which cannot be obtained,
    and wasting time in vain
    imaginings. Today I come to
    You. I will step back and merely
    follow You. Be You the Guide,
    and I the follower who questions
    not the wisdom of the Infinite,
    nor Love whose tenderness I
    cannot comprehend, but which
    is yet Your perfect gift
    to me.

    Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone, and we have reached the holy peace we never left.
    Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness.
    So brief the interval there was no lapse in continuity, nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one.
    Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son.
    This we accept as wholly true today.

    Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours.

    We thank You, Father,
    for the light that shines
    forever in us. And

AUGUST 29
    Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred.
    It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no sin.
    And in that view are all your sins forgiven.
    What is sin, except a false idea about God’s Son?
    Forgiveness merely sees its falsity, and therefore lets it go.
    What then is free to take its place is now the Will of God.
    Workbook-p II. 1. 1:1-7.

AUGUST 30
    I will not lead my life alone today.
    I do not understand the world, and so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness.
    But there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God.
    I give this day to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who knows the way to God.
    Workbook-p II. Lesson 242. 1:1-5.

    A dream of judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself.
    And in that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God made enemy unto His Son.
    How can God’s Son awaken from the dream?
    It is a dream of judgment.
