         (Dad:) It worries people when they look at their shepherds and see them so burdened. But it inspires them when they see you looking to Jesus and trusting Him and having faith! It's like kids and their parents. If they see their parents worried all the time and struggling or fighting or having a rough time, it really worries them. But if they see their parents are in love and joyful and happy and full of faith, it inspires them!
         You're only going to have that kind of peace and joy and happiness and faith if you'll stop and pull back a bit and spend more time with the Lord, and if you'll spend more time with those commissioned to help you [spirit helpers] and you get the right directions, and that will inspire others!
         You don't get those answers in the midst of the muddle, folks, but when you pull back and spend time together fellowshipping and loving the Lord, singing to Him, praising Him and seeking Him. Folks, that's where the strength lies. That's where the power is. Don't forget it, because you just can't do it any other way (ML #2987).
