    "Let my cry for help reach you."—Ps. 102:1. ???

    JEHOVAH wants us to be happy, and he pours out on us many blessings that should lead to happiness. For one thing, we are alive. Hence, we can use our life to praise God, since he has drawn us to true worship. (Ps. 144:15; John 6:44

    Jehovah assures us of his love and helps us to endure in our service to him. (Jer. 31:3;2 Cor. 4:16) We enjoy the spiritual paradise, where we find both abundant spiritual food and a loving brotherhood. Beyond that, we have a precious hope for the future.

    With what do some faithful servants of God struggle?

    Despite having these reasons for happiness, some faithful servants of God struggle with negative thoughts about themselves. They may feel that neither they nor their service to Jehovah has much value to him. For those with persistent negative feelings, the idea of enjoying “many years” could seem to be a fantasy. Life might appear to be a series of dark days.—Eccl. 11:8.

    What may trigger negative feelings?

    For such brothers or sisters, negative feelings may be triggered by disappointments, illness, or some indication of the limitations of old age. (Ps. 71:9; Prov. 13:12; Eccl. 7:7) Moreover, every Christian must face the reality that the heart is treacherous and may condemn us even though God may be pleased with us. (Jer. 17:9; 1 John 3:20) The Devil falsely accuses God’s servants. And those who have Satan’s thinking may try to infect us with the view that faithless Eliphaz expressed—we are worthless to God. That was a lie in Job’s day as it is today.—Job 4:18, 19.

    Jehovah makes it clear in the Scriptures that he will be with those who “walk in the valley of deep shadow.” (Ps. 23:4) One way he is with us is by means of his Word. The Bible is “powerful by God for overturning strongly entrenched things,” including misconceptions and negative ideas. (2 Cor. 10:4, 5

    Let us, then, consider how we can use the Bible to help us cultivate and maintain a positive viewpoint. You may gain personal benefit from this, as well as find ways to encourage others.

    WORLD CAMPAIGN ASKING FOR OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PATIENCE.....

    Numerous world events are developing at high speed. Some notably affect our people, as is persecution in Russia, among other countries.
    Numerous brothers and sisters wonder if all this is definitive fulfillment of prophecies. Until when, Jehovah? They begin to wonder.
    The reality is that our slave always attentive to our spiritual needs, has prepared a number of the Watchtower with August, in which two articles are considered priority way ANIMING TO PATIENCE.
    We must be willing to have patience waiting for SAFE JEHOVAH'S INTERVENTION. It may surprise us that the slave is waiting for Jehovah to do THINGS WE DO NOT EXPECT. We know it will work for us.

    The slave warns that Jehovah will OFFEND him, let us wait reluctantly, complaining that it is taking too long. World rulers feel secure in attacking our people because they do not see Jehovah anywhere. But Jehovah rejected Saul when he had been a little more than two years as king, but allowed him to continue to rule until he died, 38 years later.
    Why do you allow brothers to suffer persecution as in Russia? The apostle Paul, being in the city of Troas, was moved to go to Macedonia to preach. Paul obeyed immediately, seeing that it was the will of Jehovah. But nothing more to get, they put him in jail. Paul evidently felt as confused as ours in Russia. But something was achieved FUNDAMENTAL IN THE WORK: "to defend and establish legally the good news," Philippians 1: 7

    The slave announces:  WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT JEHOVAH SHALL DO.

    Yes we will wait patiently. An excellent point made here. Thanks!
