===Opening===
 
Opening Prayer: He that has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says. So, do we come with this attitude tonight, our Father, our Mother. Tune up our flagging spirits, our weary minds, our distracted emotions so that the we can both appreciate and make our contribution to the symphony of beauty. Help us to strengthen each other. Amen.

Daniel(Bill): I am Daniel. Good evening. I am reminded of our Master who stopped his profound speeches and sermons to go out to assist a child lost in the street. He never missed an opportunity to be of service. He always put human needs first over his predetermined plans. We try to follow his example in our lessons with you. Often we think we have put together grand soliloquies, dialogues, etc., but we put them aside because your immediate concerns and discussion before our transmitting session tell us that we need to deal with you, rather than our plans, so nicely thought out.

===Lesson===
 
My friends, please be at ease with life. There is so much you cannot control! Do not give in to the fear of what could happen, whether it be personal danger, the harm of your family, your financial future, the status of your nation, the attempt to stop terrorism, whatever the thing you cannot control may be. This is your challenge, to reach out in faith and give those concerns to the Father within. We have spoken of this theme many times and in many ways and yet fear, based not only on possibilities, but ultimately based on your sense of helplessness, remains such a tyrant of the mind and soul!

I am going to conclude my pep talk here so that you may interact with me on this issue, or others, if you prefer. Our time is short tonight. I will respect the needs of the group in that regard. I observe you are all tired. I say, you need rest. Questions or comments?

===Dialogue===
 
LaReen: Daniel, I just wanted to say the word "serenity". For me that word describes the last four lessons wrapped up in one: hope, faith, trust, and that word "serenity". It is a beautiful word!

Lori: I just wanted to tell you, " thank you". I feel better.(You're welcome.) And I do want you to know that many times I have felt the security of my faith and how we go on and on. You might be aware of conversations I have had with the girls, sharing that secure feeling.

===Closing===
 
Daniel: Yes. I know you have faith. I am not worried about you. I am glad that airing this topic has helped you feel better. Yes, balance is difficult. It seems that it always requires effort to stay in balance while you are in the mortal career. It is somewhat easier in the morontial life, for the intense physical aspects are partially spiritualized in the morontial reality. This is the toughest life, and therefore, the most valuable life you will live! Have your souls lifted up, my friends. Let us conclude now with a standing prayer, once again.
