ACQUIRE STRENGTH FROM FELLOW WORSHIPPERS

 Jehovah can use our Christian brothers and sisters to strengthen us. They can be "a source of great comfort" when we   face a trial or struggle to fulfill a difficult assignment. (Colossians 4:10, 11) We especially need friends during "times of distress." (Proverbs 17:17) When we feel weak, our fellow worshippers can help us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Consider how Mary, the mother of Jesus, received strength from others.

Mary needed strength. Think how overwhelmed she must have felt after receiving a weighty assignment from the angel Gabriel. She was not married; yet, she was to become pregnant. She had no experience raising children of her own, but she was to care for the boy who become the Messiah. And since she had never had sexual relations, how would Mary explain all this to her fiance', Joseph? - LIKE 1:26-33.
