(1 Tim. 1:​12-15) You think Paul continue to think about the sins he commit before? No, he not do it. He not even use to think about the thing them he do when he was in Judaism. (Phil. 3:​4-8, 13-15) But Paul continue to do his best in the ministry and focus on the future. Like Paul, you not able to change the mistake you made before.

God gave Jonah another chance to go to Nineveh. This time around, Jonah was quick to obey. Even though he was feeling bad about the mistake he made, he not allow it to stop him from accepting the assignment Jehovah gave him.—Jonah 3:​1-3.

So we pray to Jehovah and he give us the peace that Philippians 4:​6, 7 (Read.) talk about.” If you really feeling bad because of what happen to you, tell Jehovah how you feeling. And you can spend any amount of time talking with him. (Ps. 86:3; 88:1) Ask Jehovah over and over for his holy spirit. And he will give it to you.—Luke 11:​9-13.

13. How holy spirit can help us to remain faithful to Jehovah? (Ephesians 3:16)

She say: “It really make me to feel bad and it was really playing on me. I pray to Jehovah for his holy spirit to help me bear it.

Some of the thing them you can do that to go to meetings and preach to other people. Think the way Jehovah can think by reading the Bible every day. (Phil. 4:​8, 9) When you reading the Bible, try to see what problems some people went through and think on how Jehovah help them to bear it. Sandra, who we talk about before, face different-different problems that made her to suffer. She say: “The story about Joseph really encourage me. He not allow the problems he was going through to make his friendship with Jehovah to get weak.”—Gen. 39:​21-23.

¹⁶ When we want other people to help us, we need to ask them. Our brother and sister them love us and they want help us. (Prov. 17:17) But sometime, they can’t know how we feeling or what we need. (Prov. 14:10) If something really making you to feel bad, be willing to talk with mature friends. Tell them what you need. Maybe you can talk with one or two elders who you feel close to. Some sisters can find it easy to talk with another mature sister.

17. What some things that can stop us from getting encouragement, and how we can overcome them?

¹⁷ Don’t be by yourself. Because we feeling bad, maybe we can’t want be around other people. Sometime, your brothers and sisters will not really understand you or maybe they will say something that will really hurt you.

One elder name Gavin, who can suffer from depression, say: “I can’t feel like talking with anybody or going around my friends.” But Gavin not allow his feelings to control him, and he can always feel good when he around other people. One sister name Amy say: “Because of what I na go through, it can be hard for me to trust people. But I learning to love and trust my brother and sister them just like Jehovah.
