LESSON 236

I rule my mind, which I alone must rule.

1. 1I have a kingdom I must rule. 2At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. 3It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think, and what to do and feel. 4And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. 5My mind can only serve. 6Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. 7I thus direct my mind, which I alone can rule. 8And thus I set it free to do the Will of God.

2. 1Father, my mind is open to Your Thoughts, and closed today to every thought but Yours. 2I rule my mind, and offer it to You. 3Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.
