My heart is beating in the Peace of God.
1. All life that God created in His Love surrounds me.
²It calls to me in every heartbeat and every breath, in all I do and in all I think.
³Peace overflows my heart and floods my body with a longing to forgive.
⁴Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world has been given me.
⁵Each beat of my heart brings me peace; each breath fills me with strength.
⁶I am a messenger of God, guided by His Voice, sustained by His Love, and forever sheltered in the calm and peace of His loving embrace.
⁷Each heartbeat calls His Name, and each is answered by His Voice, assuring me that in Him I am at home.I
2. I only want to hear Your Answer,
and not my own.
²Father,
my heart is beating in the peace created by the Heart of Love.
³And there, and only there, can I be at home.
I These lines do nothing but declare the truth, and the truth merely awaits my recognition. I will feel whatever I will to feel; I will behold myself as whatever I will to be. All my will belongs to me, and it is completely free. And that freedom is my greatest power: I can choose fear or peace, conflict or love, exile or the return home. Today I place my will in the service of the Peace of God—at all times, always. And I will not allow my mind to stray from this holy purpose.
Every beat of my heart, every breath, every thought can become a reminder of my true identity. The Course assures me that all the life God created in His Love surrounds me—in me, in others, in everything I see. If I am willing to listen, every heartbeat calls upon His Name and every breath answers His Voice, reminding me that I am already home.
I am a messenger of God, guided by His Voice, sustained by His Love, and sheltered in the peace of His eternal embrace. This is my mission and also my inheritance: to bring peace wherever I am, for peace already dwells in me.
Father, may every beat of my heart be today a song to Your Peace, and may every breath remind me that I live in You.
