Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you. Never will he allow the righteous one to fall.—Ps. 55:22.

 

Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we encounter? Does he maneuver every event in our life, so that all bad things that happen are for a good reason? No, the Bible does not support that view. (Eccl. 8:9; 9:11) However, we do know this: When we face a trial, Jehovah is aware of it and he hears our cries for help. (Ps. 34:15; Isa. 59:1) More than that, Jehovah can help us to endure hardships successfully. How? One way that Jehovah helps us is by providing comfort and encouragement, often just at the right time. (2 Cor. 1:3, 4) Can you think of a time in your life when Jehovah sustained you by providing comfort and encouragement just when you needed it most? Often, it is only after we look back on a hardship that we see how Jehovah helped us get through it. w23.01 17-18 ¶13-15

Psalm 55:22 is one of my favorite scriptures: “Throw your burden on Jehovah, and he will sustain you.” This verse means so much to me because it reassures us that Jehovah is always there to support and sustain us through the challenges we face. Just like a doctor who sustains a patient’s life after an accident, Jehovah’s promise to sustain us doesn’t mean immediate relief from suffering, but it does mean He’ll give us the strength and comfort we need to endure.
