I am . . . under great stress.—1 Sam. 1:15.

 

Sometimes, we must face a number of stressful problems at the same time. Consider the following examples. A Witness named John, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, was devastated when his wife abandoned him after 19 years of marriage. Then his two daughters stopped serving Jehovah. A couple named Bob and Linda faced a different set of challenges. They both lost their jobs, and then they lost their home. In addition to those problems, Linda was diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart-related illness, and another disease began to damage her immune system. We can be sure that our Creator and loving Father, Jehovah, understands how stress affects us. And he wants to help us deal with the challenges we face. (Phil. 4:6, 7) God’s Word contains many accounts that describe the challenges his servants endured. It also records how Jehovah helped them deal with those stressful situations. w19.06 14 ¶2-3

  Yes, we were warned the during the last days we would be put under trials. We will also face a great tribulation. For years we have been encouraged to strengthen our faith. Our faith in what? Our faith in God's Kingdom. No matter what stresses happen to us, we know that our only hope lies in Jehovah and his kingdom. Regardless of what is thrown at us, we have this sure hope, and nothing can take it away from us. We have one another to support us and encourage us and ultimately, we have Jehovah the great potentate to strengthen us during any trial we face.

Jehovah knows our anxieties and problems. He helps us to face the stressful life by providing us accounts in the Bible showing even though we face stressful situations, Jehovah will help us endure.
