Unknown teacher: Today we will speak of those things that require [[faith]].

Believing in God, Michael, and other manifestations of God takes faith. Believing in life everlasting, or the potential thereof takes faith. Accepting the Urantia Book and its messages takes faith. Accepting and believing in the Teaching Mission takes faith. Perhaps that’s why you Agondonters have such strength of faith. You have so many things, so many areas in your lives where you must simply go on blind faith.

Sometimes, it is very [[difficult]] to do this, our [[humanness]] gets in the way. It’s at these times that we need to allow our [[Father fragment]] to [[control]] the situation. We need to step back mentally and allow this to happen. If we [[insist]] on running the show, [[progress]] will be slow indeed.

Can you think of any instances when you might have allowed this to happen, but insisted on holding the reins, so to speak?

In order to help facilitate this process, the next time you find yourself engaged in a situation where you are becoming upset, or angry at another, close your eyes, take a deep breath. Closing your eyes will allow you to disengage and allow the Father to take control.
