This course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with you. You
are not alone. No-one who calls on Him can call in vain. Whatever
troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it
to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold
all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. He
knows the way to solve all problems and resolve all doubts. His
certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.

You are as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid
down before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in
between. Indeed, your pathway is more certain still, for it can not be
possible to change the course of those whom God has called to Him.
Therefore obey your will, and follow Him Whom you accepted as your
voice, to speak of what you really want and really need. His is the
Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of
truth.

No more specific lessons are assigned, for there is no more need of
them. Henceforth, hear but the Voice for God and for your Self when you
retire from the world, to seek reality instead. He will direct your
efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and
when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His
certain Word. His is the Word that God has given you. His is the Word
you chose to be your own.

And now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him
as Guide through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is
real. Nor will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives
only the eternal and the good. Let Him prepare you further. He has
earned your trust by speaking daily to you of your Father and your
brother and your Self. He will continue; now you walk with Him as
certain as is He of where you go; as sure as He of how you should
proceed, as confident as He is of the goal, and of your safe arrival in
the end.

The end is certain, and the means as well. To this we say “Amen.” We
will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a choice
to make. And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure
that hell will claim you not, and that each choice you make brings
Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this time on,
and turn to Him for guidance and for peace and right direction. Joy
attends our way. For we go homeward to an open door which God has held
unclosed to welcome us.

We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in
His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers,
as we ask His will in everything we do. He loves God’s Son as we would
love him, and He teaches us how to behold him through His eyes, and love
him as He does. You do not walk alone. God’s angels hover close, and all
about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure: that I will never
leave you comfortless.
