She tell, “I no could tink about anyting else cuz I wuz so sad dat he wen betray me. I wen pray to Jehovah fo give me his spesho spirit fo keep goin.

Dey can help us feel betta wen dey make time fo be wit us an lissen to us vent how we feel. Maybe dey share one scripcha fo kokua us or dey pray wit us. d (Rome 15:4) Sometimes one braddah or sistah might remind us Jehovah’s tinking on tings an dat can help us fo keep oua balance an keep goin.

(Smart Guys 14:10) If you feeling junk, can talk to good frenz an tell um how you feel. Tell dem how dey can help you. Maybe you might talk wit one or two eldas dat you stay close wit. Some sistahs wen feel betta afta dey wen talk to anodda solid sistah.

Sometimes maybe yoa braddahs an sistahs no undastan how you feel, or maybe dey say da wrong ting. (Jam 3:2) But no stay away from yoa braddahs an sistahs.

One sistah name Amy tell, “Cuz of my pas I get hard time fo trus peopo. But I stay learning fo love an trus my braddahs an sistahs like Jehovah does. I kno dis makes Jehovah happy an it makes me happy too.”
