“Mi and hasband bilong mi marit for 25 year, then mitufala divorce nao. Olketa pikinini bilong mi lusim truth, and mi kasem samfala big sik. Mi barava wikdaon and sorre tumas. Mi feel olsem mi lusim evri samting and mi no wei nao. Gogo mi no go long olketa meeting and mi inactive.”—June.
EVRIWAN savve wari samfala taem, and pipol bilong God savve olsem tu.

(Luke 21:34) Waswe long iu? Waswe, famili problem, sik, or selen, mekem iu wari tumas? Wanem nao Jehovah savve duim for helpem iu deal witim olketa samting hia?
“Strong wea Winim Strong Bilong Man”
Iumi needim help for deal witim olketa samting wea mekem iumi wari.

Datwan helpem iumi tu for no wari tumas mekem iumi savve gohed hapi taem iumi worshipim Jehovah.
“Lane Abaotem Jehovah and Lukim Wei wea Hem Gud Tumas”
Maet iu feel olsem iu no garem staka taem and strong for duim evri samting wea iu mas duim. Olsem example, Jehovah laekem iumi for mek sure Kingdom hem first samting long laef bilong iumi and for iumi duim olketa spiritual samting evritaem. (Matthew 6:33; Luke 13:24) Bat waswe sapos iu no fit for duim staka samting bikos pipol againstim iu, iu sik, or iu garem famili problem? Or waswe sapos waka bilong iu for selen mekem iu taed and spoelem taem wea iu shud iusim for go long olketa meeting and duim preaching waka? From iu no garem taem and strong for duim evri samting wea iu mas duim, maet datwan mekem iu wikdaon. Maet iu tingse Jehovah askem tumas samting from iu.

Olsem example, tingim wanfala man wea savve ranran wea stop for duim datwan for samfala month or year. Then hem start for ranran moa. Hard tumas for hem stretawe ran moa olsem bifor. Firstaem hem markem olketa smol goal wea bae helpem hem for strong moa and no givap. Olketa Christian olsem man wea ranran, and olketa garem goal tu.
