Continue to Satisfy Your "Spiritual Need" - LIKE DAVID-REMAIN SPIRITUALLY WELL-SHELTERED - Conclusion

 When David obeyed Jehovah, he was protected from the harm that comes to those who sin willfully. (Compare Proverbs 5:1, 2,) By contrast, when David ignored God's standards, Jehovah did not shelter him from the consequences of his actions. (Samuel 12:9, 10) What about the times when David suffered through no fault of his own? David poured out his heart to Jehovah in prayer, and Jehovah eased David's anxiety by reassuring him that He loved him dearly and would care for him. - PSALM 23:1-6. 

We can imitate David by seeking Jehovah's counsel when we make decisions. We also recognize that we may at times suffer hardship, not because Jehovah has failed to shepherd us, but because we have made poor decisions. (Galatians 6:7, 8) And when we face trials through no fault of our own, we pour our heart out to Jehovah in prayer, trusting that he will guard our hearts and thoughts. - PHILIPPIANS 4:6, 7.
