Hear Jehovah's Voice Wherever You Are - MAINTAIN CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH JEHOVAH

Jehovah wants us to have the best life possible. (Psalm 1:1-3)  He gives us the right direction at the right time. (Hebrews 4:16.)  Although Jesus was perfect, he depended on regular communication with Jehovah.  Jesus prayed constantly.  Jehovah supported and directed Jesus in wonderful ways. He sent angels to care for him, gave him holy spirit, and guided him to choose the 12 apostles.  Jehovah even spoke from heaven to show that he supported and approved of Jesus. (Matthew 3:17; 17:5; Mark 1:12, 13; Luke 6:12, 13; John 12:28)  Like Jesus,  we too need to pray constantly and from our heart.  (Psalm 67:7, 8; Hebrews 5:7) Prayer helps us to remain close to Jehova and to live in a way that honors him.

Jehovah does not force us to follow his advice, but he makes it easy to find if we want it.  we need to ask for his holy spirit to guide us, and he will give it to us generously. (Luke 11:10-13) The Bible says: "Pay attention to how you listen." (Luke 8:10) For example, if we ask Jehovah to help us avoid immorality but we continue to look at pornography or watch immoral movies, we are showing that we do not really want his help.  To get his  help, we need to be in places or situations where Jehovah's spirit is, such as our congregation "meetings.  Many servants of Jehovah have avoided disaster by listening to our meetings.  When they realized that they were developing a wrong desire, they corrected the problem. - PSALM 73:12-17; 143:10.
