B5: "Daniel, this B5. I don't quite know how to [[word]] this. I'll try my best. Lately I seem to be in a bit of a [[dilemma]], as are a lot of people around me. I [[listen]] to these teachings. I do what you say. I read in the [[Urantia Book]] and I am thankful. And I try not to [[worry]] too much about the [[politics]] and etc. in our [[government]] and our [[society]], thinking that it will be taken care of in its own time. But when things happen in my life in [[political]] terms or [[governmental]] terms that directly [[influence]] my life or my [[family's]] life, I really have a hard time not getting uptight and a hard time knowing which direction to go and what to do about these things. Do you maybe have any [[enlightenment]] for me?"

Daniel: "My [[words]] in this regard are that, yes, you must in your [[faith]], in your [[trust]] of [[the Father]] know that He will not forsake His [[children]]; that the people of [[Urantia]] will always be a part of Him; and that you the [[individual]] must know that in the saying that 'God will provide' does not mean that you do not have [[responsibility]] in this [[survival]]. For you see, you are a [[partner]] with [[God]]. And unless you do your part, He cannot intercept to be your [[guide]], to provide the [[guidance]] needed to bring about a better life.

N1: "Daniel this is N1. Thank you for the [[message]]. I was getting on the freeway this past week and there were some [[hitchhikers]] there and it brought up an issue for me that I [[thought]] I have handled and I have been [[struggling]] with different aspects of this issue again and I was [[wondering]] if you might give me some help. I felt really [[guilty]] going by the hitchhikers and leaving them there. And especially it seems like since I have started coming here I have these old [[feelings]] of being watched all the time([[laughter]] from group)..not [[supported]] and loved which I know has to do with my [[perceptions]]..but [[judged]] and condemned..being watched and feeling really wrong and I feel like a lot of things I do are really wrong and passing the hitchhikers I felt really wrong...I had the [[Good Samaritan]] story in [[mind]]...but I also have been [[learning]] about boundaries and taking care of myself and not becoming a [[victim]] and I'm having a real hard time being loving and offering [[compassion]] and not being a [[victim]]. I'm not setting myself up and acting like I am [[immortal]] or something. Could you give me some help with this distinction?"
