Keep Calm and Trust in Jehovah- SIX THINGS THAT WILL HELP US KEEP CALM

 

1. Pray often. Christians who are under  pressure can find relief when they turn to Jehovah in earnest prayer.  (1 Peter 5:7)  In answer to your prayers, you can receive "the peace of God that surpasses all [human] understanding." (Read Philippians 4:6, 7.)  Jehovah calms our anxious thoughts by means of his  powerful holy spirit. - GALALTIANS  5:22. 

When approaching Jehovah in prayer, open your heart to him.  Be specific.  Tell him what the problem is, and explain to how you feel about it. If there is a possible solution, ask him for the wisdom to find it and the strength to implement it. If the answer to your problem is beyond your control, ask Jehovah  to help you not be unduly worried about it. When you are specific in your prayers, in time you will see more clearly how Jehovah has answered them.  If the answer does not come immediately  after you have been praying, do not give up.  Jehovah wants you to be not only specific but also  persistent in your prayers. - LUKE 11:8-10.

As you throw your anxiety on Jehovah in prayer, be sure to include words of thanks. It is good for us to count our blessings, even when our circumstances are especially difficult. If at times you are unable to find the right words to express your intense emotions, remember that Jehovah answers prayers as simple as 'Please help!' - 2 CHRONICLES 18:31; ROMANS 8:26.
