- When we feel afraid, what will help us to trust in Jehovah?
We need to first ask ourselves ‘What has Jehovah already done?’ Next, we reflect on what he has created. As an example, when we take a look at how Jehovah takes care of small and seemingly unimportant creations like birds, we are reassured of his love and care for us.
We may also think about what Jehovah has done for his worshipers. We may ask what did he do to those who showed outstanding faith, or we might read the experience of a modern-day servant of Jehovah. Additionally, we can meditate on how Jehovah has already cared for us and how has he answered your prayers? Lastly, we may put our trust in Jehovah when we think on how we benefit every day from the sacrifice of his beloved Son.
- What does Jehovah observe about each one of us?
Jehovah takes note of the trial we go through and of how that trial makes us feel. Just like did in the past regarding his servants, Jehovah understands how you feel and he is eager to help you conquer your fears. He takes note of our deep distress, the affliction, the pains we suffer during trial.
- Why are you convinced that Jehovah notices you and that he will help you to cope with any trial?
Sometimes I’m surprised when a talk or a comment at a congregation meeting touches on something I’m going through. Sometimes the encouragement comes from a publication, a video, or an original song. It could even be that someone shared a reassuring thought or scripture that touches my heart. I see all these as proof of Jehovah’s loving help to help me overcome my trials.
- What confidence can we have in Jehovah?
We have the confidence that Jehovah will do away with all the problems we are facing in the coming new world. Our loving Creator is surely strong enough to to fulfill all his promises to raise the dead, to heal us, and to remove all opposers.
- What might we meditate on?
- We can meditate on what Jehovah will do in the future.
- We can meditate on how we’ll will feel when Satan is gone, when wicked people are replaced by righteous people, and when imperfection fades away a little more each day.
