Personal Comments

What Bible verse has taken on greater meaning for you during this time?

I have thought a lot about the words found at Psalm 139:16: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo.” Jehovah has known me since before I was born, and he understands my fears and limitations better than anyone else. He not only answers my prayers but also helps me in ways I have never thought to ask for. This convinces me that there is no sense in trying to run away from trials. Instead, I am confident that if Jehovah allows something to happen, he will give me exactly what I need to endure.

We are comforted to know that Jehovah listens and responds to our cries for help as we maintain our confidence in him.—1 John 5:14, 15.
