Thursday, September 30

Your sins have been forgiven.—1 John 2:12.

 

What relief that thought brings to us! As King of God’s Kingdom, Jesus will undo any damage Satan and his system may inflict on us. (Isa. 65:17; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 21:3, 4) What hope that inspires in us! And even though Jesus has given us a challenging assignment, he is with us, supporting us through the last days of this system. (Matt. 28:19, 20) What courage that builds in us! Relief, hope, and courage—these are some of the solid foundation stones on which our peace of mind is built. How, then, can you retain your peace of mind when you are shaken by severe trials? You can do so by imitating the things Jesus did. First, pray and persist in prayer. Second, obey Jehovah and preach zealously even when it is difficult to do so. And third, look to your friends to help you through trials. Then the peace of God will guard your mind and heart. (Phil. 4:6, 7) And like Jesus, you will conquer any trial.—John 16:33. w19.04 13 ¶16-17

We so so so need to know and feel our sins are forgiven. In this way Jehovah loving gives us peace of mind. And with friends to support us as we struggle along, we are moved to get closer to Jehovah and praise him for the way that he treats us.

[Elnathan]

When we have done all we could to deal with a trial, Faith will move us to leave the matter with/to Jehovah. Because we trust that he can deal with the matter better than we ever could. We need to pray more frequently & intensely to gain more peace of mind & heart. 
when we are intensely occupied with our preaching work, we are better able to put our troubles into perspective.
