4. What Is Sin?

Lesson 254

Let Every Voice But God’s Be Still In Me.

Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your will, which I would share with You today.

2. Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them we let them go.⁵⁹ We do not want what they would bring with them, and so we do not choose to keep them. And in the stillness, hallowed by His love, God speaks to us and tells us of our will,⁶⁰as we have chosen to remember Him.^[1]

Footnote 59. This sentence provides instruction for response to temptation. Whenever we notice an ego thought directing our words or actions today, we should step back and look at it, then let it go by repeating “Let every voice but God’s be still in me.”

Footnote 60. That God “tells us of our will” means that He tells us what we really want.

Personal Notes:

Let every voice but God’s be still in me. I meditate on above prayer today, and in quiet I wait to hear my Father’s Voice. I pray for all my brothers and myself for continued guidance, wisdom, discernment, protection, and illumination, of The Way, The Truth, The Life, in Christ Jesus, Amen. Thank you for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend!
