Believe
Your lifted limb–leg
projected out
at first,
even warily
over
sea
turbulent
though, no bridge
seems to be
any
where
outsiders’
eyes
can see
what you
perceive
based
upon
previous histories
learned
once you lean
forward
in motion
agitated waves
will depart;
a path
tranquil
instilled
to chill
your angry ocean…
Believe…

“Faith
is the assured expectation
of what is hoped for,
the evident demonstration
of realities
that are not seen.” Heb. 11:1.

You Are Invited: 2023 “Exercise Patience”! Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses
Throw all your anxiety on him.—1 Pet. 5:7.
What can you do if you feel alone? Focus on how Jehovah is sustaining you. (Ps. 55:22) This will help you to maintain a balanced view of your situation. Think, too, about how Jehovah is helping fellow believers who feel lonely. (1 Pet. 5:9, 10) Hiroshi, a brother who for many years has been the only Witness in his family, says: “Knowing that we are all doing our best to serve Jehovah can encourage those of us who are alone in the truth.” Also, maintain a good spiritual routine. This includes openly telling Jehovah how you feel. It is important to read God’s Word regularly, meditating on specific accounts that highlight Jehovah’s love for you. Some Christians memorize scriptures that are particularly comforting, such as Psalm 27:10 and Isaiah 41:10. Others find that listening to audio recordings of the study material helps them to feel less lonely when preparing for the meetings or doing their Bible reading. w21.06 9-10 ¶5-8 © 1 hour ago, Lucretia McCloud society • teen • nature • hope • love • friendship
