My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 233, for August 20, 2024. I give my life to God to guide today.

I give my life to God to guide today.

* Absolutely. Whether I have stability OR transition.

1. Father, I give You all my thoughts today.

* This can take time to “grow into” from what I have experienced.

* A lot of it has to do with trusting yourself AND God/Heavenly Father.

²I would have none of mine.

* True!

* Now, when a man or anyone else (this would be in ego, of course) wants to take God’s Place in my life and decides that “they” do my thinking for me or dictate its direction and so forth, we have a problem! To breathe and listen are my two “go to’s.”

³In place of them, give me Your Own.

* THOUGHTS.

* Wow!

* To think that we are able to LITERALLY THINK the THOUGHTS of God!

⁴I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your Will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings.

* And ACTS, too!

* “… instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained, and wasting time in vain imaginings.”

⁵Today I come to You.

⁶I will step back and merely follow You.

* DO YOU SEE HOW GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, is WHO we should be following and NOT CHRIST?

* To follow Christ is to follow one another in ego that has been fabricated to take the place of God.

⁷Be You the Guide, and I the follower who questions not the wisdom of the Infinite, nor Love whose tenderness I cannot comprehend, but which is yet Your perfect gift to me.

* Oh my, I am grateful to receive these words today!!!

2. Today we have one Guide to lead us on.

* YES!

²And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no reserve at all.

* Try it, just one day (or step) at a time!

³This is His day.

⁴And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto us.

* We can TRUST THIS!

* I know that I do even when I get frustrated or moved EMOTIONALLY by the confusion that is currently in the mind of the Son of God.
