Never be anxious.—Matt. 6:31.

 

Jehovah has given his word that he will care for his loyal servants, and he feels obligated to fulfill that promise. (Ps. 31:1-3) In addition, Jehovah knows that we would be devastated if he did not care for those who are part of his family. He promises to provide for us both materially and spiritually, and nothing will stop him from fulfilling that promise! (Matt. 6:30-33; 24:45) When we remember why Jehovah keeps his promises, we can face economic challenges with confidence. Consider the example of the first-century Christians. When great persecution arose against the congregation in Jerusalem, “all except the apostles were scattered.” (Acts 8:1) Think what that would have meant. Economic hardship! Christians likely lost their homes and businesses. Yet, Jehovah did not abandon them; neither did they lose their joy. (Acts 8:4; Heb. 13:5, 6; Jas. 1:2, 3) Jehovah supported those faithful Christians, and he will support us.—Ps. 37:18, 19. w20.01 17-18 ¶14-15

When we put ourselves in the hands of our creator, he will surely care for us well. We as frail humans are always wondering - when will he help me? But we can be assured he also knows the best time to help us and in what way. We just need to exercise patience as best as we can

[Gruder]

COMPLETELY putting our trust and reliance on Jehovah can be really difficult. We would be foolish in thinking that when facing difficulties that we don't need anyones help. We need to remember- we should "do what we can" and leave the rest in Jehovah’s hands. He will "never forsake us!" -PS 94:14
