A Course in Miracles Passage

I am sustained by the Love of God.
Here is the answer to every problem
that will confront you, today and tomorrow
and throughout time.
In this world, you believe
you are sustained by everything but God.
Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols;
pills, money, "protective" clothing, influence, prestige,
being liked, knowing the "right" people, and an endless
list of forms of nothingness that you endow with
magical powers.
All these things are your replacements for the Love of God.
All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification.
They are songs of praise to the ego.
Do not put your faith in the worthless.
It will not sustain you.
Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances.
It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above
all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace
and safety.
It will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten,
nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon
the eternal calm of the Son of God.
Put not your faith in illusions. They will fail you.
Put all your faith in the Love of God within you;
eternal, changeless and forever unfailing.
This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.
Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve
all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence.
Tell yourself this often today.
It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols.
It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.
