🕊 Living in Peace: A Day in the Life of a Course in Miracles Student

Peace, as A Course in Miracles reminds us, is not something we find — it’s something we accept. It’s the quiet awareness beneath every thought of fear, waiting patiently for us to return. The student of the Course doesn’t chase peace; they simply stop resisting it.

🌅 Morning — Remembering the Truth

Before the world rushes in, the student begins in stillness. A few moments of quiet, a simple prayer:

“Today I choose the peace of God.”

This is not a ritual of effort, but of willingness. The mind is invited to rest — not to plan, not to fix — only to open to the Presence already here. Peace starts as a decision, not a result.

☀️ Midday — Choosing Again

As the world unfolds, the Course student walks gently, noticing moments of tension without judgment. A delay, a disagreement, a worry — all are seen as invitations to choose again:

“Would I rather be right or be at peace?”

Instead of defending the ego’s story, they pause. A simple breath, a willingness to see differently — and peace returns.

The outer world doesn’t change; the perception does. And in that shift, the miracle occurs.

🌿 Afternoon — Living the Lesson

The peaceful student still works, drives, answers emails, and cares for others —but all action arises from inner guidance, not personal control. Each task is offered to Spirit:

“What would You have me do? Where would You have me go? What would You have me say, and to whom?”

Ordinary life becomes sacred. Peace is not about escaping the world, but remembering Heaven in the midst of it.

🌇 Evening — Reflection and Release

As the day closes, the student reflects with the Holy Spirit: Where did I lose my peace? Where did I remember Love?

There’s no guilt — only gratitude for the awareness gained. Judgments are released, and the heart grows lighter.

“I rest in God.”

The peace that was always there begins to shine again, gently, quietly, faithfully.

🌙 Night — Resting in Trust

Before sleep, the student releases the day into divine care. No more striving, no more fixing — only trust.

“Into Your Hands I commend my spirit.”

Sleep becomes a continuation of learning peace.The mind rests in the assurance that it was never truly separate, and therefore never truly lost.

✨ The Peaceful Life

To live this way does not mean being perfect or detached —it means being willing to return to peace each time you forget it.

A Course in Miracles doesn’t ask us to change the world, only to change the mind that made it fearful. When we do, peace naturally arises — not as a goal, but as our true home.
