Lesson 50

W-pI.50.1. Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time. ² In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. ³ 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.

W-pI.50.2. All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. ² All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. ³ They are songs of praise to the ego. ⁴ Do not put your faith in the worthless. ⁵ It will not sustain you.

W-pI.50.3. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. ² 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. ³ 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.

W-pI.50.4. Put not your faith in illusions. ² They will fail you. ³ Put all your faith in the Love of God within you; eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. ⁴ This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. ⁵ Through the Love of God within you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. ⁶ Tell yourself this often today. ⁷ It is a declaration of release from the belief in idols. ⁸ It is your acknowledgment of the truth about yourself.

W-pI.50.5. For ten minutes, twice today, morning and evening, let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. ² Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. ³ Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. ⁴ Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁵ Such is the resting place where your Father has placed you forever.
