I would like to offer this holy instant to You. Let it be You who directs. For I would like to follow You, certain that Your direction gives me peace.
If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.
✨ Summary & practice
This holy instant, give it to God. He will give you all you need.
Give this holy instant to God. Entrust Him with the helm, for following His guidance is the only path to true peace. When you surrender control to Him, you discover He meets your slightest need. A word of encouragement when you need it, a bright thought in confusion, deep silence when overwhelmed, these are His gifts. He is in charge because you have chosen Him, and His response is always perfect.
The essential teaching of this repetition is that trust in God is not a one-time event, but a practice in every instant. You do not give Him your life once and for all; you give Him each moment. This repetition of lessons 361 to 365 trains you to live in conscious dependence on God. Every need, even the smallest, can be given to Him. And He answers with perfect precision, for He knows your needs better than you do.
Like lesson 361, this one invites you to deepen the practice of surrender. Each repetition strengthens trust. Previous lessons have shown you that God answers every call, that His answer is peace, that you do not need to guide yourself. Here, you apply this truth repeatedly, until it becomes your natural way of living. Surrender is no longer effort; it becomes reflex.
To practice this lesson, today, repeat it throughout the day as a silent prayer. At every transition, at each new moment, say again: « This holy instant, I give it to You. Be in charge. » Do not try to anticipate what you will need. Trust that at the right moment, the answer will come. You will discover that the more you practice this surrender, the more life becomes fluid and peaceful. Problems resolve themselves, the right words come naturally.
