1-2. Sometime, what problems Jehovah faithful people can go through?

 WHEN something bad happen to us our life can just change. For example, the doctor tell one faithful brother name Luis a that he was having cancer. The doctor tell him that he was just having short time to live. Monika and her husband were busy serving Jehovah together. Then one day, Monika hear that her husband who was elder been sinning secretly for long time. One single sister name Olivia, was force to leave her home because one heavy storm was coming. When she went back, the storm finish spoiling her house. All this people them life just change quick. You can understand what they went through? Anything na happen to you before that just change your life quick?

² Even though we serving Jehovah faithfully, we can still go through the same problem them other people can face. But beside this, sometime we can bear the bad treatment from people who against us. Even though Jehovah can’t stop problems from coming on us, but he promise to help us go through them. (Isa. 41:10) With his help, we can continue to be happy, make good decisions, and remain faithful to him when we going through problems that really hard. In this article, we will talk about four ways that Jehovah can help us when we going through problems in our life. Also, we will talk about what we must do to benefit from the help that he can give us.

 JEHOVAH WILL PROTECT YOU

3. When we going through serious problem, sometime wetin it can be hard for us to do?

³ The problem. When bad things happen to us, sometime it can be hard for us think straight and make good decisions. Why? Because we can really be worrying and feeling bad. We can be feeling confuse and we can’t even know the next thing to do. See how the two sister them we talk about before was feeling when they were going through their problems. Olivia say, “After the heavy storm spoil my house, I was feeling too bad and confuse.” See what Monika say about what her husband do to her, “I was feeling really-really bad. I was feeling just like somebody take knife and jook my heart. Every day it was hard for me to do simple things. I never thought this thing was coming happen to me.” How Jehovah promise to help us when we feel the problem just too much for us?

4. Wetin Jehovah promise us in Philippians 4:​6, 7?

⁴ How Jehovah will help us? He promise to give us “the peace of God.” (Read Philippians 4:​6, 7.) This peace talking about the feeling we can get when our heart lay down because we get close friendship with Jehovah. This peace “surpasses all understanding.” This feeling of peace more wonderful pass any feeling we can imagine. You na really pray to Jehovah before and then you were surprise to see the way your heart lay down? You feel like that because Jehovah gave you “the peace of God.”

5. How the peace from God can guard our thinking and feelings?

⁵ Philippians 4:7 also say that the peace from God “will guard,” or protect, “your hearts and your mental powers.” The original word for “guard” that was word people use when they talking about soldier people guarding the city to protect it from any attack. The people living in that city use to sleep in peace because they knew that the soldier people were guarding them. That the same way the peace from God can guard our feeling and our thinking. Our heart can lay down because we know we safe. (Ps. 4:8) Like Hannah, even if our situation not change right away, our heart can still lay down. (1 Sam. 1:​16-18) And when we feeling fine, most of the time it can be more easy to think straight and make good decisions.

6. Wetin we can do to benefit from the peace of God? (Also see the picture.)

⁶ Wetin we must do? The same way the people in the city will call the soldier people to protect them, you too can call Jehovah to help you when you in problem. How? Pray until you feel the peace from God. (Luke 11:9;  1 Thess. 5:17) Luis who we talk about before, explain how he and his wife, Ana, were able to bear their problem when they got to know that he was having only short time to live. He say: “In time like this, it can really be hard to make decisions about how to take care of your health and other thing them. But only praying to Jehovah really help us to get peace during this hard time.” Luis and his wife say that they use to really pray to Jehovah over and over, begging Him to give them peace of mind and for their heart to lay down. Also, they use to ask for wisdom to make good decisions. And he answer their prayer. If you going through any problem, continue praying to Jehovah, and you will feel the peace from him. It will guard your heart and your mind.—Rom. 12:12.

JEHOVAH WILL HELP YOU TO BE STABLE

7. Sometime how we can feel when we going through serious problem?

⁷ The problem. Sometime when we going through serious problem, our thinking, feeling, and action can’t be the way it can normally be. We can just be having different-different feeling just like when heavy breeze blowing the ship from one wave to the other. Ana who we talk about before say she was having all type of different-different feelings after her husband die. She say: “Sometime when I really feeling discourage, I use to start feeling sorry for myself. Also, I use to get vex bad way that my husband die.” Then sometime, Ana use to feel really bad and lonely to make decisions on thing them that her husband, Luis use to do. Sometime, she use to feel she was in the sea and heavy breeze was blowing. How Jehovah can help us when all this different-different feelings just too much for us?

8. Wetin Jehovah promise us in Isaiah 33:6?

⁸ How Jehovah will help us? He tell us that he will help us to be stable. (Read Isaiah 33:6) When ship on sea and heavy breeze blowing, it can start shaking left and right. This one risky for the ship. To help the ship to be stable, plenty ships get something on the left and right side that can go under the water call stabilizers. This stabilizer them can help to balance the ship so it can’t shake too much. Because of this, the people on the ship can feel fine and safe small. But plenty stabilizer them on the ship can work good-good when the ship continue going. That the same way, Jehovah will help us to be stable if we continue serving him faithfully when we going through serious problems.

9. How our research tools can help us to keep controlling our feelings? (Also see the picture.)

 ⁹ Wetin we must do? When you having different-different feelings, you must try hard to continue praying, attending meetings and preaching. That true, sometime we will not be able to do all the thing them we use to do before, but remember that Jehovah not expect you to do more than what you able to do. (Compare Luke 21:​1-4.) Also, you can set time to study and think good-good on the thing them you study. Why? Jehovah using his organization to give us good-good articles and videos that can help us to control our feelings when we going through problems. To find what you need, use the research tools that in your language, like the JW Library^® app, Watch Tower Publications Index, and Research Guide for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Monika who we talk about before say as soon she start having different-different feelings and she notice that it getting strong, she can use the research tools to study. For example, she make research on the word “anger.” Then another time, she do research on “betrayal” or “loyalty.” Then she can read until she start feeling better. She say: “When I started doing my research, I was really worrying. But when I continue reading I started feeling like Jehovah was giving me one big hug. When I continue reading, I got to know that Jehovah understand the different-different way I was feeling, and he was helping me.” That this kind na help from Jehovah can help you to be stable when you having different-different feeling until you start feeling better.—Ps. 119:​143, 144.

JEHOVAH WILL SUPPORT YOU

10. Sometime, how we can feel after something really bad happen to us?

¹⁰ The problem. When something really bad happen to us, some days we can’t be having the strength to do anything. Sometime we will feel like somebody who use to run fast but now they using stick to walk because they hurt. It can be hard for us to do the thing them that was easy for us to do before, or we can’t be having the desire to do the thing them that use to make us happy. Like Elijah, we can feel like it too hard to get up and we can just want continue sleeping. (1 Ki. 19:​5-7) Wetin Jehovah promise to do for us when we feeling weak?

11. What another way Jehovah can help us? (Psalm 94:18)

¹¹ How Jehovah will help us? He promise to  support us. (Read Psalm 94:18.) Just how somebody who use to run fast but they get hurt and they need help to move around, that the same way we need help to continue to be active in serving Jehovah. In time like this, Jehovah promise us: “I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I will help you.’” (Isa. 41:13) King David experience this help. The time he was going through serious problem and his enemy them was attacking him, he say to Jehovah: “Your right hand supports me.” (Ps. 18:35) But how Jehovah can support us?

12. Who Jehovah can use sometime to help us when we feeling weak?

¹² Most of the time Jehovah can support us by making other people to help us. For example, one time when David was feeling weak, his friend Jonathan visit him to encourage him and make him feel better. (1 Sam. 23:​16, 17) That the same way Jehovah choose Elisha to help Elijah. (1 Ki. 19:​16, 21; 2 Ki. 2:2) Today too, Jehovah can use our family, friends, or the elder them to support us. But when we really feeling bad, sometime we can’t want be around anybody. We can just want be by our self. It normal to feel like that. Wetin we can do for Jehovah to support us?

13. Wetin we must do so we can benefit from Jehovah support? (Also see the picture.)

¹³ Wetin we must do? Try hard to not stay away from people. When we stay away from people, most of the time we can start thinking only about ourselves and the problem them we going through. This type of thinking can make us to not make good decisions. (Prov. 18:1) That true, sometime all of us need time to be by ourselves, especially when something really bad happen to us. But if we stay away from people for long time, we will not be able to get the help Jehovah giving us through other people. Even though it can be really hard for us when bad things happen, but we must accept the help from our family, friends, and the elder them. Try to see that Jehovah using them to support you.—Prov. 17:17; Isa. 32:​1, 2.

JEHOVAH WILL COMFORT YOU

14. Wetin them can make us scary sometime?

¹⁴ The problem. Sometime we can face some problem them that can make us scare. In the Bible, some of God faithful servant them explain how sometime they suffer because of their enemies and other problems. (Ps. 18:4; 55:​1, 5) That the same way people in our  school, to our working place, in our family or in the government can go against us. Sometime we can feel like we coming die because of sickness. During time them like this, we can be feeling like small child who not able to help their self. How Jehovah can help us in time them like this?

15. According to Psalm 94:​19, wetin Jehovah will do for us?

¹⁵ How Jehovah will help us? He can comfort and encourage us. (Read Psalm 94:19.) Maybe this psalm will make us think about the small girl who scare and not able to sleep because of the heavy storm. We can just imagine her pa going to her, picking her up and holding her in his hands until she start sleeping. The way her pa holding her really comfort her and she feeling safe, even though the storm still heavy. When we facing problem them that can make us scare, we can want our Pa Jehovah to hold us in his hand until our heart can lay down. How we can get this type of comfort from Jehovah?

16. Wetin we can do to benefit from the comfort Jehovah can give us? (Also see the picture.)

¹⁶ Wetin we must do? Always spend time with Jehovah by praying to him and reading the Bible. (Ps. 77:​1, 12-14) Then when you under stress, maybe the first thing you will do that to go to your Father Jehovah for help. Tell him what making you scary and wetin you worrying about. Then listen to Jehovah by reading the Bible and you will see how he will comfort you. (Ps. 119:28) When you read certain part of the Bible it can really comfort you when you feeling scary. For example, you will find something that will encourage you in the book of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs and also what Jesus say in Matthew chapter 6. When you pray to Jehovah and read the Bible, you will feel the comfort he giving you.

17. Wetin we can be convince about?

¹⁷ We can be convince that Jehovah will always help us when bad things happen in our life. We will never be by our self. (Ps. 23:4; 94:14) Jehovah promise to guard us, support us, comfort us and help us to be stable. Isaiah 26:3 say this one about Jehovah: “You will safeguard those who fully lean on you; you will give them continuous peace, because it is in you that they trust.” So you must trust in Jehovah, and do everything you able to do to benefit from all his help. If you do it, you will get strong again even when you going through serious problems.
