Garanz he neva do dat, jus like he neva keep tinking about all da stuff he wen do fo come one Pharisee eidda.

JEHOVAH USES OUA BRADDAHS AN SISTAHS FO HELP US FEEL BETTA
15. Who can help us fo feel betta, an how dey can help us? (Go look da picha.)

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. Anodda ting oua braddahs an sistahs can do fo help us iz share food wit us fo make us feel betta.
16. Wat we might have fo do fo get help from oddas?
16 Sometimes we might have to ask oddas fo help us. Oua braddahs an sistahs love us an like help us. (Smart Guys 17:17) But maybe dey donno how we feel or wat we need. (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.

17 No spen too much time by yoaself. Cuz sometimes you might feel soa inside an you no like be aroun oddas. 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. Jehovah can use dem fo give you da help you need. One elda name Gavin who struggle wit depression tell, “Plenny times da las ting I like do iz talk or spen time wit my frenz.” But still yet Gavin try his bes fo be wit his braddahs an plenny times he feel betta wen he do dat. 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.”

So use all da tings dat Jehovah give us fo help make us feel betta. Kno fo shua dat God kea an “get one big heart fo you guys.”—1 Pet 5:7.
