What point of view about money will help us not suffer unnecessarily, and why?

With this point of view, we can face any situation with gratitude and contentment, knowing that Jehovah will provide what is necessary for our lives.

The point of view about money that will help us not suffer unnecessarily is to consider that we do not need money to be happy and secure. The text says that we should be “content with the things we have” and that we should let the love of money control our lives. This is because Jehovah has promised that he will never leave us or forsake us, which means that he will always be with us and provide us with everything we need.
In other words, if we have a correct perspective on money, we will not worry about accumulating wealth or losing it, because we know that Jehovah will always be with us and will provide us with what we need. This will help us not to suffer unnecessarily for money.
Even if we don't love money, we can also cause a lot of problems for ourselves if we don't manage it well.
