Lesson 194 - I Place the Future

"I Place the Future in the Hands of God"

Placing the future in God's Hands is an immense spiritual leap. By fully trusting in God, we move closer to the complete liberation from ego and illusion. We no longer need to walk alone or guess the way. We are arriving at the "gardens of Heaven", a state of deep inner peace. This passage evokes the image of a journey approaching its end, marked by lightness and hope.

Accepting this lesson is no small thing. It dissolves fear, guilt, sadness, sin, and suffering. This surrender not only heals us but also heals the world, freeing all beings from the inner chains that create suffering. When we are liberated, we share that freedom with everything around us. Salvation is no longer individual: it extends outward like a blessing.

Placing time in God's Hands removes the pain from the human heart. When the mind anchors itself in the present by trusting in divine love, it is no longer ruled by shadowy emotions. Death, suffering, and sorrow lose their power.

Each moment offered becomes an opportunity for peace and inner rebirth.

Expanded and Reflective Summary of Lesson 194 – A Course in Miracles

To God, past, present, and future are one. But since we still perceive time as linear, He simply asks us to release the future. That alone is enough to dissolve fear and heal the past. By trusting what is to come, we heal what has been.

By liberating the future, we reclaim the present as a holy instant. Time — once seen as a ruthless tyrant — becomes neutral, even sacred. The light that was hidden within us can now emerge and bless the world. Our personal freedom becomes universal healing.

If we understand the true power of this lesson, we will devote ourselves to it consistently. Surrender becomes a habit, a new way of responding to fear, error, and conflict. Thus, salvation becomes a lasting lens. We see the world through healed eyes, and it transforms in return.

Those who truly trust in God no longer live in fear. Pain, loss, and suffering no longer rule them.

Even if they make mistakes, they know they can choose again. Trust becomes a safe refuge where one can always begin anew. By placing the future in God's Hands, we ask for God’s memory to return to our awareness. We exchange thoughts of fear and guilt for the truth of love. As we heal ourselves, the world heals with us. Inner peace and collective peace become one.

In this state of surrender, we rest safely. Even if we forget or falter, Love will gently correct us. The world ceases to be a threat. It becomes our friend, for we have stopped attacking it. Salvation is certain, and love is assured.
