✨ A Course in Miracles: Lesson 47
“God is the strength in which I trust.”
This lesson invites you to recognize that the strength you rely on is not your own. The ego’s strength is tension, effort, and control. It is fragile because it is based on fear. The strength of God is calm, steady, and unchanging. It is always present within your mind. When you say God is the strength in which you trust, you are acknowledging that real strength comes from the part of you that is joined with God, not from the ego’s attempts to manage the world.
This idea helps dissolve the belief that you must protect yourself or figure everything out alone. It reminds you that trust becomes natural when you rely on divine strength instead of personal effort. This lesson begins shifting your awareness from fear to peace, from strain to ease, from self‑reliance to the quiet certainty of God’s presence within you.
✨ Practice
Five practice periods
Repeat the idea slowly and with sincerity:
“God is the strength in which I trust.”
Let the words settle.
Let them touch your awareness.
Let them remind you that true strength is already within you.
Then close your eyes and rest in quiet.
Let your thoughts soften.
Let yourself sink into stillness.
If distractions arise, let them pass gently and return to:
“God is the strength in which I trust.”
Allow the idea to bring a sense of calm and inner support.
Short practices throughout the day
Whenever you notice tension, fear, or any moment where you feel overwhelmed or uncertain, pause and say:
“God is the strength in which I trust.”
Let it soften your perception.
Let it remind you that you are supported by a strength that cannot fail.
