Jehovah Is Helping You to Succeed - HOW JEHOVAH MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL

 Often, it is only after we look back on a hardship that we see how Jehovah helped us get through it.  A sister named Tori found that to be true. Her son, Mason, battled cancer for six years until he passed away. Understandably,  Tori was heartbroken.  She says, "I don't think there could have been a more painful ordeal for  me as a mother."  She adds, "I'm sure other parents would agree that seeing your child suffer is worse than experiencing it yourself."

As devastating as that was, however, Tori later reflected on the ways in which Jehovah helped her through it.  "In hindsight," she says,  "I can see Jehovah's loving hand throughout my son's illness. For example, even when Mason was too sick to see visitors, brothers and sisters would drive two hours to the hospital. There was always someone in the waiting room-ready and willing to provide support.  Also, our material needs were cared for. Even in the worst of times, we never went without." Jehovah gave Tori what she needed to endure, and he did the same for Mason. See the box "Jehovah Gave Us What We Needed."
