Think about this for a moment, and I would like to spend time in addressing each of you at a very personal and involved way that perhaps we have not touched upon in prior lessons. Go within, and when you are ready, please [[share]] with me. (pause)

Student: I sure had a [[strange]] day today. I learned from a friend of mine that there's a new treatment for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_disease Parkinson]'s, which I'm very excited about. And I had a very good day yesterday, but I [[woke]] up this morning and I was [[paralyzed]] with [[fear]]. I didn't know where it came from. So I wonder how to hold onto faith, and how my faith would help me in that situation.

Welmek: Faith is a matter of [[perspective]]. Faith is predicated upon certain [[ideas]] that you hold to be true within you. Ask yourself these questions: Do I believe that my Father in [[Paradise]] is in [[absolute]] [[perfect]] [[control]] of my life? Number 2: Do I trust that God [[desires]] my [[happiness]] and well-being? Number 3: Am I willing to live according to how He wishes my life to [[unfold]]? Number 4: Do I love [[the Father]] enough to let him have his way in my life?
