===Opening===
 
Ham: Greetings, children, I am Ham and I welcome you back this evening. This evening, let us discuss the benefits of some rest time. Many human beings feel they are too busy for restful worshipful contemplation. It is difficult to stop the train, the locomotive of your mind and simply rest, relax, and worship the Father.

===Lesson===
 
Worship is divine rest. It is that freeing of the mind to allow it to soar to spiritual heights. Most people harness the mind to plow the fields of everyday productivity. But, now and then, it is good to forget the daily travail, to release the mind and let it soar.

Q: Yes Ham, I'd like to have a little guidance in my wandering way, please.
 
Q: Yes Ham, I'd like to have a little guidance in my wandering way, please.
    
Ham: Certainly. My daughter, you do very well. Often times you search for things you already have forgetting that you have them. Sometimes you forget your status and standing as a beloved daughter of the almighty Father. Such a one is never helpless, such a one is never lost. The way may not always be clear to you. There may be times when you feel as though you are pushing at the wrong doors. But, remember that it is through the Father's love that all things exist. Your life is under his auspices, even his guidance and control. Why then would you worry, why then would you be distressed or even discouraged? Allow yourself the liberty of seeing the Father's hand in all things and in that way you can be free, calm, and open without fear. The Father never pushes or prods. He only beckons lovingly, tirelessly. I know that some times the emotion of the moment, the urgency of the situations seem to require other reactions. But as you grow in spiritual security, the temporary tempests of life seem calm and not so destructive. Where the immature soul sees destruction, the mature soul sees rearranging. So, if you are willing to allow God's rearranging in your life, it may seem like a tornado has come through, but look again, and you will see order and even a path cleared for you. You do very well my dear. You are handling a lot of pressure very well. Fear not for the things that seem distorted as through a lense will become clear. Fear not, all is well.

===Closing===
 
Are there any further questions at this time? Very well then, go in peace my children. Life is an adventure. Treat it as such. Nothing is that tragic and nothing is that wonderful. Life is full of both and everything propels you forward. Steer yourselves always towards God and all else shall be added unto you.
