Personal Comments

What helps you to maintain a positive attitude?

I love being in nature because Jehovah’s hand is visible in every flower, fruit, and plant. I am constantly amazed by what a caring Father he is. For example, gazing in awe at the mountains reminds me of what is said about Jehovah at Deuteronomy 32:4: “The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness who is never unjust; righteous and upright is he.” My relationship with Jehovah is stronger than it has ever been. I am determined to prove that no persecution will silence me as I continue to praise his name.

It is reassuring to know that, like Tatyana, we can always rely on Jehovah as our ‘stronghold and secure refuge.’—Psalm 18:2.
