He who is in union with you is greater than he who is in union with the world (1 John 4:4).

When you feel fear, meditate on what Jehovah will do in the future when Satan is gone. At the 2014 regional convention, a demonstration was given in which a brother spoke with his family about what 2 Timothy 3:1-5 would say if it were a prophecy about life in Paradise: “Very happy times will come in the new world.

For people will love their neighbors; they will be lovers of spiritual treasures, modest and humble, honoring God, obedient to parents, thankful and loyal, affectionate toward their families, willing to compromise, always speaking well of others, self-controlled, gentle, loving what is good, trustworthy and reasonable, not at all proud, loving God rather than pleasure, and sincere in their devotion to God. Keep close to them.” Do we often talk with our families or with the brothers and sisters about what life will be like in the new world? w24.01 6 pars. 13, 14.

What do we know Jehovah will do in the future?

What has God promised us? Of course, he hasn't promised that we'll now live a trouble-free life. But whatever we have to go through in this world, Jehovah has promised that in the new world he will eliminate all problems (Isa. 25:7-9). There's no doubt he has enough power to raise the dead, to heal us, and to eliminate all our enemies (1 John 4:4).

What helped Tanja overcome her fears?

Tanja is a sister from North Macedonia who managed to overcome her fears by meditating on Jehovah's promises. She says that when she began studying the Bible, her parents were furious: "Exactly what I feared most happened. My mother hit me every time I returned from the meeting. And she and my father threatened to kill me if I became a Witness."

They ended up evicting her from her home. How did she react? She explains: “I focused on thinking that if I remained faithful to Jehovah, I would be very happy for all eternity. I told myself that even if I lost things in this system, in the new world Jehovah would reward me and make me forget all the bad memories.” Tanja remained faithful to Jehovah, and with his help, she found a place to live. Today she is married to a loyal brother, and the two of them happily serve God full-time.

What will help us be courageous when Luke 21:26-28 comes true?

During the Great Tribulation, most people will “fain with fear.” But God’s servants will be courageous and stand firm. (Read Luke 21:26–28.) Why? Because we will be accustomed to trusting in Jehovah. Tanja says that her past experiences help her cope with other difficult situations: “I have learned that there is no situation in which Jehovah cannot help and bless us. Sometimes it may seem that other people are in control, but the reality is that they only have as much control as Jehovah allows them to have. No matter how difficult a trial is, sooner or later it will end.”
