A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 268 Let all things be exactly as they are.
Father,
Let me not be your critic today.
Let me not judge against you.
Father,
Let me not attempt to interfere with your creation.
Let me not distort your creation into sickly forms.
Father,
Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from your creation's unity.
Let me be willing to let your creation be as you created it.
Father,
When I let your creation be as you created it,
I will be able,
As well,
To recognize myself as you created me.
In love was I created.
In love will I remain forever.
Let not our sight be blasphemous today.
Let not our ears attend to lying tongues.
Only reality is free of pain.
Only reality is free of loss.
Only reality is wholly safe.
It is only this reality that we seek today.

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
