Monday

Here is the talk that I'm going to give tomorrow.
........................................................

Everyone has days when they feel they can't cope. Sometimes there's a specific reason - money worries, difficulties with health, problems at work. Maybe we feel sad or lonely. We may wonder if anyone loves us. Other times it's harder to put your finger on the cause. It's all too easy to get caught in a spiral of unhappiness, and feel there's no escape, feel that there’s no one to comfort you.

Open your bibles to Psalm chapter 27:10. Notice what is mentioned there. That’s Psalm chapter 27 and verse 10 – and it reads: In case my own father and my own mother did leave me, Even Jehovah himself would take me up.

Isn’t that comforting to know? No matter what happens Jehovah himself would take us up. Question is, do we pray to Jehovah? Do we pray for his holy spirit? Do we forget that he is there to listen to us when we have these problems? Isaiah chapter 49 verse 15 states that Jehovah will not forget us so let’s not forget Jehovah.

In this system Satan will make trouble for us. We will be tested. Jesus himself was tested but even though Jesus was tested, he knew that Jehovah loved him. He knew that Jehovah allows his servants to be tested. It’s the same with us today, which is why like Jesus, we need to rely on Jehovah.

An example of this is when Jesus told, a story about a shepherd who had a hundred sheep but, one of them got lost. It’s possible that the sheep wanted to see what was on the other side of the hill. So off the sheep went but because it wondered off, the sheep was now lost. Imagine how that sheep felt when it realized that it was all alone.

What did the shepherd do? Let’s read that account, please open your bibles to Matthew 18:12-14 and notice what it mentioned there. That’s Matthew chapter 18 verse 12 through 14 and it reads:

Who is that shepherd in this story? Jesus said it was Jehovah. Jehovah is the great shepherd who cares for his people. He does not want any of us to be hurt or destroyed. He knows what we need and he knows we need help. If we ever find ourselves sad or alone, what can we do? We can talk to Jehovah. We can let him know what we are going through. When children have problems they talk to their parents don’t they? When a husband or wife has problems they talk to each other don’t they? We can talk to Jehovah just like we talk to each other. He wants us to talk to him. We need to talk to him. We cannot get through this system without him.

Doesn’t it give you great comfort in knowing that the creator of all things loves us and that he wants us to follow him? He wants us to be one of his sheep? In this system we will always have issues. Problems will come and go and some may remain. Recall Psalm 55: 22 says to: Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you.

So rely on Jehovah, pray to Jehovah, throw your burdens upon Jehovah, and that’s where you will find true comfort.
