You Can Overcome Problems That Damage a Family

Conclusion of WHAT CAN THE FAMILY DO?

Above all, draw strength from Jehovah.  The Bible warmly assures us:  "Jehovah is near to those  that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves."  (Psalm 34:18)  If you feel broken at heart of crushed in spirit because of the pressures o living with an alcoholic family member, know that "Jehovah is near."  He understands how difficult your family situation is. -1 Peter 5:6, 7. 

Believing what Jehovah says in his Word can help you to cope with anxiety.  (Psalm 130:3, 4; Matthew 6:25-34; 1 John 3:19, 20)  Studying God's Word and living by its principles puts you in line to receive the help of God's holy spirit, which can equip you with "power beyond what is normal" to cope from day to the next. -2 Corinthians 4:7. 

Abuse of alcohol can lead to another problem that damages many families-domestic violence.
