How to Overcome Doubts

 "Make sure of all things." - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:21.

PEOPLE of all ages have doubts at times. For example, imagine a young Witness who wonders if Jehovah is really interested in him. He may be unsure about being baptized. Or think that a middle-aged brother who is in his youth chose to pursue Kingdom interest rather than a career in this world. With the family budge now stretched to the limit, he may have second thoughts. Picture an elderly sister with limited strength and energy. She may feel discouraged because she can no longer do what she once did. Have you ever asked yourself such questions as: 'Does Jehovah really notice me? Have the sacrifices that I have made for Jehovah been worth it? Am I still useful to Jehovah?

If we leave questions like these unanswered, they can adversely affect our worship. In this article, we will consider how focusing on Bible principles will help us if we doubt (1) that Jehovah is interested in us, (2) that our past decisions were sound, or (3) that we are still useful to Jehovah.
