You say you want the Peace of God. You affirm it. You DEMAND it DAMMIT and you don’t ever want to settle for anything less!!

Me too, my friend. Me too.

However… and listen well…

There is one thing you must have in order to experience the Peace of God.

Without this one thing, it’s just not going to happen.

What is this ONE THING you ask?

Is this ONE THING when you’re good enough? Addiction free? Better educated? Highly revered by others? Wearing a hot new designer outfit? Have the perfect relationship? When the children are well-behaved and successful? Wealthy? You’ve memorized A Course In Miracles? Thinner? Perfect? Loyal? Selfless? Holy? Dead?

You certainly don’t have to wait until you’re dead.

Nope! None of those things will bring you the Peace of God.

So, what is the ONE THING? What is the Golden Key to the Peace of God?

Here goes… are you ready?

Wait for it…

The answer is Faith.

You must Trust in the goodness of God in all things.

Now, I know what you’re probably thinking. “How do I do this?” “What does it look like?” “I want to but I’m not there yet.”

Yes, you ARE there if you want to be.

It’s actually much simpler than we make it out to be. (I adore “simple”.)

First of all, Trust has to happen in the NOW. There is no other way. I challenge you to see if you can “trust” in the past. Go ahead… give it a try. Be trusting yesterday or last year. Are you trying? Now, see if you can trust in the future. Can you trust tomorrow or next summer? Go ahead… I’ll wait…

(twiddling my thumbs…)

It’s impossible, right? You can’t do it! You can only Trust God in this “right now”. You’re not taking responsibility for your life unless you take responsibility for this moment. “Now” is the ONLY place life can be found. “Now” is the only time you can practice Trust. Faith only happens in the present moment.

So, the simple practice is this.

1) What do you see that’s happening right now?
2) Accept it.
3) Trust it. Trust God. Trust His plan. Let God’s glories unfold.
4) Thank you God.
5) Repeat.

This is Faith.

The alternative is worry, anxiety, guilt, planning and controlling. This is what we do when we decide not to Trust God’s Plan and rely on our own plan instead. I mean, when we’re sick, diseased, worried and stuck, why would we think that we know how to create peace? Our plan is always based on fear, littleness and separation and will fail every time. We fight fear with fear. Not to mention, we aren’t leaving any room for God. Einstein once said, “You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” I know… smart guy, right?

But God can.

Let’s start with this. “I’ve made quite a mess and now I’m lost in it. I have done all of this and I must undo it but I have no idea how.”

God does.
But you have to Trust.

And do you know what will build that Trust so that it gets bigger and bigger?

Experience.

You have to do steps 1-5 and not just talk about it.

The way in which we achieve maturity along this pathway is to be finally willing to let things be just as they are? That’s Trust.

Jesus says in A Course In Miracles, “What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present and to come are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?”

Knowing this, what can you not accept?

Trust and allow everything NOW.

Herein lies the Peace of God.
