God is the strength in which I trust.

LESSON 47.
God is the strength in which I trust.
W-47.1. If you are trusting in your own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious and fearful.
2 What can you predict or control?
3 What is there in you that can be counted on?
4 What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any problem, and to resolve them in such a way that only good can come of it?
5 What is there in you that gives you the recognition of the right solution, and the guarantee that it will be accomplished?
W-47.2. Of yourself you can do none of these things.
2 To believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted, and to justify fear, anxiety, depression, anger and sorrow.
3 Who can put his faith in weakness and feel safe?
4 Yet who can put his faith in strength and feel weak?
W-47.3. God is your safety in every circumstance.
2 His Voice speaks for Him in all situations and in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to call upon His strength and His protection.
3 There are no exceptions because God has no exceptions.
4 And the Voice which speaks for Him thinks as He does.
W-47.4. Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength.
2 Four five-minute practice periods are necessary today, and longer and more frequent ones are urged.
3 Close your eyes and begin, as usual, by repeating the idea for the day.
4 Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations in your life which you have invested with fear, dismissing each one by telling yourself:
5 God is the strength in which I trust.
W-47.5. Now try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of inadequacy. 2 It is obvious that any situation that causes you concern is associated with feelings of inadequacy, for otherwise you would believe that you could deal with the situation successfully.
3 It is not by trusting yourself that you will gain confidence.
4 But the strength of God in you is successful in all things.
W-47.6. The recognition of your own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors, but it is hardly a sufficient one in giving you the confidence which you need, and to which you are entitled.
2 You must also gain an awareness that confidence in your real strength is fully justified in every respect and in all circumstances.
W-47.7. In the latter phase of the practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety.
2 You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly.
3 Let go all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.
5 There is a place in you where nothing is impossible.
6 There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.
W-47.8. During the day, repeat the idea often.
2 Use it as your answer to any disturbance.
3 Remember that peace is your right, because you are giving your trust to the strength of God.
