STEP 40 TODAY I WILL FEEL THE POWER OF GOD.

GOD’S POWER IS SO COMPLETE AND SO INCLUSIVE that it infuses everything. Only those minds that are separated and lost in valuing their own thoughts can possibly be separated from the great benevolence of God. Those who have responded to God become God’s Messengers in time so that they may bestow the gifts of Grace upon those who remain behind in confusion.

上帝的力量是如此的完整与包容，它渗透到万物之中。只有那些因珍视自己的想法而迷失的心灵，才有可能与上帝的伟大仁慈分离。那些对上帝做出回应的人，会及时成为上帝的使者，以便将恩典的礼物给予那些仍在迷茫中的人。

ALL THE SEEMING POWERS OF YOUR WORLD—the forces of nature, the inevitability of your death, the ever present threat of illness, loss and destruction and all appearances of conflict— are all temporary movements in the great stillness of God. It is this great stillness that calls you to return to the peace and full enjoyment of God, but you must prepare.

你在世界上看到所有看似强大的力量——自然的力量，你死亡的必然性，无时不在的疾病、损失和毁灭的威胁，以及所有冲突的表象——都是上帝伟大静止中的暂时运动。正是这伟大的静止召唤着你回到和平之中，充分享受上帝，但你必须做好准备。

TODAY YOU PREPARE IN YOUR TWO 30-MINUTE practice periods. In silent meditation, attempt to feel the power of God. You do not need to conjure up magical images, for this power is something that you can feel, for it is everywhere. No matter what your circumstances or condition, whether favorable for your development or not, today you can feel the power of God.

今天你可以在两个30分钟的实践期内做好准备。在静默的冥想中，试图感受上帝的力量。你无需召唤出神奇的形象，因为这种力量是无处不在的。无论你的处境或状态如何，无论是否有利于你的成长，今天你都可以感受到上帝的力量。
