Week 3: The Strength in Surrender: Releasing Resistance to God’s PlanKey Idea: Trusting God means releasing the need for control. We can walk forward with faith, even when the future is uncertain.
Most of us have been taught that strength means control. We associate power with making things happen, pushing through, and resisting what we don’t like. But in truth, strength is not about force—it is about surrender.
A Course in Miracles teaches us that when we resist, we suffer. When we let go, we receive. Lesson 320 reminds us: “My Father gives all power unto me.” But this power is not the ego’s idea of control. It is the power of surrender—the ability to trust that God’s plan is unfolding perfectly, even when we do not understand it.
This week’s guided meditation, “Releasing Resistance, Embracing Flow,” we experience a flowing river as we let go of our fears and doubts. The link to the meditation is included in the study guide available on our website and is shared at the start of the Sunday study group session.
Readings:
- Lesson 320: “My Father gives all power unto me.”
- Chapter 30, Section I: “Rules for Decision”
“Decisions are continuous. You do not always know when you are making them. But with a little practice in the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees you through the rest.”
Watch Rev. Paul’s insights he shared in this week’s video.
This Coming Sunday’s Readings:
- Lesson 109: “I rest in God.”
- Chapter 3, Section II. “The Voice for God”
Be sure to work with these readings with our monthly optional
study guide with each week’s guided meditations. The guide includes points to consider, reflection and journal prompts!
