Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up.—Prov. 12:25.

Good communication, sharing your feelings with a trusted confidant, can help you cope with anxiety. A marriage mate, a close friend, or a congregation elder may be able to help you to put your anxiety into perspective. Frank and honest communication can do much to help you to understand and deal with your concerns. The Bible tells us: “Plans fail when there is no consultation, but there is accomplishment through many advisers.” (Prov. 15:22) Jehovah also helps Christians to deal with anxieties by means of weekly congregation meetings. There you can associate with fellow believers who are concerned about you and who want to encourage one another. (Heb. 10:24, 25) Such “an interchange of encouragement” will help to replenish your spiritual resources and make it easier for you to deal with any anxiety.—Rom. 1:12. w16.12 3:17, 18

This is one of those scriptures that I cannot express the trueness of it!! So often do I feel so much lighter after a prayer to Jehovah, or a conversation with my boyfriend, or close friend after a meeting. One sister and her husband, once, invited me back after a midweek meeting to discuss something on my mind, and I couldn't express how much that meant to me especially after a late meeting. There's so much love in Jehovah's organisation!
