Lesson 273: ”The stillness of the peace of God is mine.”
Reframe: I rest in the calm and stillness of inner peace.
Suggested Practice:
From now on:
Once in the morning and once in the evening for however many minutes feels sufficient. Then every hour remember/recite the idea for the day.
Prayer For today:
(feel free to swap out the wording to whatever resonates with you best)
“Father, Your peace is mine. ²What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? ³I cannot lose Your gifts to me. ⁴And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.” (ACIM, W-273.2:1-4)
OR… “I let nothing intrude upon my peace.”
For Lessons 271-280: What is the Christ? is the theme for the next 10 days. Read the whole article here.
”Christ is God’s Son as He created Him. ²He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another, and with God as well. ³He is the Thought which still abides within the Mind that is His Source. ⁴He has not left His holy home, nor lost the innocence in which He was created. ⁵He abides unchanged forever in the Mind of God.” (ACIM, W-pII.6.1:1-5).
OR put another way…
”We are all of the Light, created by the Light, united with the Light and one another in the Light. Be the Light.”
From the PART II Introduction: Read the whole introduction here.
“Words will mean little now. ²We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. ³For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. ⁴The lessons that remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace. ⁵Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set, and find the end toward which our practicing was always geared.” (ACIM, W-pII.in.1:1-5)

Message
From the Lesson:
“Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. ²If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. ³If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. ⁴We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.” (ACIM, W-273.1:1-4)
Much as I look forward to when I can experience “a day of undisturbed tranquility”, this was not feasible for me today. Why? I’m really not sure. All I know is I wasn’t feeling peace, love, or joy for most of the day which tells me the ego mind was in charge. But, for most of these Lessons, when I’ve talked about ego mind I’ve usually done so in reference to fears, limiting beliefs, and grievances. Because I wasn’t aware of any of those feelings, I didn’t occur to me that the ego mind was involved.
So what was I feeling? Mostly heavy in my body, not physically but energetically. I felt blah with maybe a touch of depression, which tells me the ego mind is being quite subtle in its efforts to lead the way.
Which brings me today’s Lesson. Because I was struggling to connect with the peace of God, the Lesson gave me hope. That despite my struggle to achieve it today, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Knowing that peace is mine and how to achieve it gives me comfort, that it’s okay to be where I am today and that I have a way to it whenever I’m ready.
It’s like the stash of chocolate I have in my cabinet. I can go without eating it for as long as I feel like but knowing it’s there for me whenever I need or want it, eases my fear of not having any of it in the house.
Thankfully a dear friend came to visit this afternoon. We talked, commiserated, and laughed together. It broke whatever spell the ego mind had on me and allowed me to access peace, love, and joy.
Today’s Lesson reminds me that, like the chocolate, I’m glad the peace of God is always there.
