Wetin we must do to benefit from Jehovah help? Let look at this example. Good doctor can do their best to help somebody who hurt to get better. But for the person to get better, they need to follow the doctor advice good-good. That the same way we need to follow Jehovah direction to benefit from his help. In this article, we will see what Jehovah say in the Bible to those who feeling discourage. We will also learn how to apply his loving advice.

One sister name Helen a say: “Our parents  never use to show us love. My pa use to treat us bad. He always use to say that we useless.” Like Helen, maybe people na treat you bad, criticize you, or not show you love. If that what na happen to you, it will be hard for you to believe that somebody really care for you.

5. Zisɛ a kaa tua leŋ a diai nua da kaa diŋɛi naɣiŋ dimɛi?

⁵ We can learn how Jehovah can feel by looking at Jesus example. When Jesus was on the earth, he was kind to people who feel that they were nothing because of the way other people use to treat them. (Matt. 9:​9-12) One woman who was suffering from some kindna bad sickness touch Jesus clothes. She was having hope that when she touch his clothes, she will get well. So Jesus comfort her and praise her for her faith. (Mark 5:​25-34) This one show that Jesus just like his Pa. (John 14:9) So you can be sure that you important to Jehovah and he know all your good-good ways. He even know your faith and the love you get for him.

6. Le ɓe ya pɔri gɛi ya gaa yɛɛ nya ɓe I maa mɛni fe kpanaŋ ni Ziova ma?

Read and think  about Bible verse them that show that you important to Jehovah. b (Ps. 94:19) If you not able to reach your goal or you feeling bad because you not able to do what other people doing, don’t be discourage. Jehovah not expect you to do more than what you able to do. (Ps. 103:​13, 14) If somebody na treat you bad before, don’t blame yourself for it. Nobody suppose to treat you like that! Remember that the person who treat you bad, Jehovah will hold responsible. (1 Pet. 3:12) When Sandra was small, her parents use to treat her bad. She say, “I can always ask Jehovah to help me see the good-good ways that he see in me.”

7. Mɛni-ŋai kwaa tɛɛ zui da kpɔŋ leŋ kwa a gɛɛ ku kpɔŋ maa tɛɛ nua pɔ Ziova ŋɔkpɔŋ gie-maai su?

⁷ Don’t feel that Jehovah can’t use you to help other people. He na honor you by allowing you to work with him in the preaching work. (1 Cor. 3:9) Maybe the things you pass through in life na help you to feel sorry for people and know how they feel. You able to help them. Helen who we talk about before, get help and she able to help other people now. She say: “I use to feel that I not important but Jehovah show that I important, and he using me to help other people.” Helen regular pioneering and she happy now.

⁸ Some of Jehovah servant them can still be feeling bad because of the mistakes they made before or even after they get baptize. But we must remember that Jehovah gave the ransom to forgive our sins because he really love us. So, we can be sure that Jehovah want us to accept his gift. Jehovah promise us that when we “set matters straight” c with him, he can forgive us altogether. (Read Isaiah 1:18.) We grateful that our loving Father, Jehovah can’t remember our sins! At the same time, he will never forget the good-good thing them we na do.—Ps. 103:​9, 12; Heb. 6:10.

9. Le mɛni ɓe maa nɛ̃ɛi ku kuŋɛi kɛ la lonii ma da tinaa tue-pere mɛni-ŋai dia e tɛɛ la kupɔara maa-ŋai dia?

⁹ Wetin you must do if you feeling bad about the mistakes you made before? Try your best to focus on what you able to do now-now and what you will do in the future. Let look at the apostle Paul example. He use to feel bad because he persecute the Christian them before, but he knew that Jehovah na forgive him. (1 Tim. 1:​12-15) You think Paul continue to think about the sins he commit before? No, he not do it. He not even use to think about the thing them he do when he was in Judaism. (Phil. 3:​4-8, 13-15) But Paul continue to do his best in the ministry and focus on the future. Like Paul, you not able to change the mistake you made before. But you can praise Jehovah and make him happy now-now. And you can think about the good-good things that he promise to do for you in the future.

¹¹ Learn from the mistakes you made before, and allow Jehovah to use you the way he want use you. Let talk about the prophet Jonah example. Jehovah tell Jonah to go to Nineveh. But he run away and go different place. Jehovah discipline Jonah, and he learn from his mistake. (Jonah 1:​1-4, 15-17; 2:​7-10) Jehovah not give up on Jonah. God gave Jonah another chance to go to Nineveh. This time around, Jonah was quick to obey. Even though he was feeling bad about the mistake he made, he not allow it to stop him from accepting the assignment Jehovah gave him.—Jonah 3:​1-3.

ZIOVA A KUŊAA NƐNƐ MƆLEŊ MAA WAAI SARAI

12. Ziova a lii-see tɛɛ leŋ kupɔ kwa kɛ tɛɛi mɛni kpɔlu-ŋa su? (Felepiɛŋ 4:​6, 7)

¹² Jehovah can use his holy spirit to comfort us when bad thing happen to us. Let see what happen to Ron and Carol. Their son kill his self. They say: “Bad things na happen to us before, but this one was worst. It use to be hard for us to sleep in the night. So we pray to Jehovah and he give us the peace that Philippians 4:​6, 7 (Read.) talk about.” If you really feeling bad because of what happen to you, tell Jehovah how you feeling. And you can spend any amount of time talking with him. (Ps. 86:3; 88:1) Ask Jehovah over and over for his holy spirit. And he will give it to you.—Luke 11:​9-13.

13. Mɔleŋ maa waai a kpɔŋ leŋ kua a gɛɛ ku kanaŋ Ziova fɛlii? (Ifisiɛŋ 3:​16)

¹³ Any bad thing na happen to you before that make you feel that you not get strength to do anything? Then the holy spirit can give you strength to continue worshipping Jehovah and remain faithful. (Read Ephesians 3:16.) Let see what happen to one sister name Flora. She and her husband were serving together as missionaries when her husband cheat on her, and they divorce. She say: “It really make me to feel bad and it was really playing on me. I pray to Jehovah for his holy spirit to help me bear it. So, Jehovah comfort me and help me to bear it even though I was thinking that I was not going to make it.” Flora feel that God na help her to trust him more, and he will help her to go through all her problems. She also say: “Psalm 119:32 apply to me: ‘I will eagerly pursue the way of your commandments because you make room for it in my heart.’”

14. Kwa pɔri nɛɛi leŋ naa a gɛɛ Ziova ŋɔmɔleŋ e tii kɛ a kua?

¹⁴ After you ask Jehovah for his holy spirit, wetin you must do? Do things that will make God holy spirit to help you. Some of the thing them you can do that to go to meetings and preach to other people. Think the way Jehovah can think by reading the Bible every day. (Phil. 4:​8, 9) When you reading the Bible, try to see what problems some people went through and think on how Jehovah help them to bear it. Sandra, who we talk about before, face different-different problems that made her to suffer. She say: “The story about Joseph really encourage me. He not allow the problems he was going through to make his friendship with Jehovah to get weak.”—Gen. 39:​21-23.

 ZIOVA A KU ŊAA-NƐNƐ KUƁARAŊ KORAI-ƁELA SARAI

15. Gbɛɛ ni ɓe kwa pɔri ŋaa-nɛnɛ sɔlɔ ɓoi diyeei, nyaŋ da pɔri kpɔni leŋ kua? (Ya pɔri ŋɔnɔ votooi kaai.)

¹⁵ When we suffering, our brother and sister them can be there to comfort us. (Col. 4:11) That one way here Jehovah can show that he love us. They can comfort us by spending time with us and listen to us when we telling them how we feel. They can even read Bible verse to encourage us or pray with us. d (Rom. 15:4) Sometime, they can remind us about the way Jehovah can think and it can make our heart to come down. Our brothers and sisters can also do some thing them to help us, like giving us food or some other thing them.

16. Le ɓe maa nɛ̃ɛi ku gɛ a gɛɛ ku kpɔŋ maa sɔlɔ ɓo nua yeei?

¹⁶ When we want other people to help us, we need to ask them. Our brother and sister them love us and they want help us. (Prov. 17:17) But sometime, they can’t know how we feeling or what we need. (Prov. 14:10) If something really making you to feel bad, be willing to talk with mature friends. Tell them what you need. Maybe you can talk with one or two elders who you feel close to. Some sisters can find it easy to talk with another mature sister.

17. Mɛni kpanaŋ-ŋa kɛɛ leŋ ɓe a pɔri ku kperai kpɔŋ maa sɔlɔ ɓoi nua yeei, nyaŋ kuyee a pɔri tɛɛ leŋ ma?

 ¹⁷ Don’t be by yourself. Because we feeling bad, maybe we can’t want be around other people. Sometime, your brothers and sisters will not really understand you or maybe they will say something that will really hurt you. (Jas. 3:2) You must not allow this one to stop you from getting the encouragement you need. One elder name Gavin, who can suffer from depression, say: “I can’t feel like talking with anybody or going around my friends.” But Gavin not allow his feelings to control him, and he can always feel good when he around other people. One sister name Amy say: “Because of what I na go through, it can be hard for me to trust people. But I learning to love and trust my brother and sister them just like Jehovah. I know that this one can make Jehovah happy, and it can make me happy too.”

ZIOVA ŊƆKONO-TEEI TINAA-TUƐ-PERE MƐNI MA A PƆRI KU ŊAA-NƐNƐI

18. Le ɓe kuŋɛi a pɔri kɛi berei tinaa-tuɛ-pere mɛni ma nyaŋ le ɓe kwa pɔri gɛi lonii ma?

¹⁸ We can be sure that Jehovah will soon move all the thing them that can make us to suffer and feel pain. (Rev. 21:​3, 4) During that time, we will not remember all the bad-bad thing them we going through now-now. (Isa. 65:17) But now-now, Jehovah can take care of us when we suffering. So we must make use of all the good-good things Jehovah doing to comfort us and help us. Always be convince that “he care for you.”—1 Pet. 5:7.
