TIKUKHALA m’nthawi yovuta ndipo zinthu zodetsa nkhawa ndi zambiri. Satana Mdyerekezi ndi wokwiya kwambiri ndipo “akuyendayenda uku ndi uku ngati mkango wobangula, wofunitsitsa kuti umeze winawake.” (1 Pet. 5:8; Chiv. 12:17) Choncho n’zosadabwitsa kuti ngakhale atumiki a Yehovafe nthawi zina timakhala ndi nkhawa. Ndipotu atumiki a Yehova akale monga Mfumu Davide nthawi zina ‘ankalimbana ndi masautso.’ (Sal. 13:2) Tisaiwalenso kuti mtumwi Paulo ‘ankadera nkhawa mipingo yonse.’ (2 Akor. 11:28) Ndiye kodi tingatani ngati tikuda nkhawa kwambiri ndi zinazake?

² Atate wathu wakumwamba anathandiza atumiki ake m’mbuyomo kuti achepetse nkhawa ndipo angatithandizenso ifeyo. Paja Baibulo limati: ‘Mutulireni nkhawa zanu zonse, pakuti amakuderani nkhawa.’ (1 Pet. 5:7) Kodi tingachite bwanji zimenezi? Tiyeni tikambirane zinthu 4. Tizipemphera kuchokera mumtima, tiziwerenga Mawu a Mulungu ndiponso kuwasinkhasinkha, tizipempha mzimu  wa Mulungu komanso tizifotokozera munthu amene angatithandize.

Davide anachonderera Yehova kuti: “Inu Mulungu, mvetserani pemphero langa.” Mu Salimo lomweli ananenanso kuti: “Umutulire Yehova nkhawa zako, ndipo iye adzakuchirikiza.” (Sal. 55:1, 22) Mukakhala ndi malingaliro osautsa, n’kuchita zonse zomwe mungathe polimbana ndi vuto lanu, pemphero lochokera pansi pamtima lingakuthandizeni kuti musamade nkhawa kwambiri. (Sal. 94:18, 19) Koma kodi pemphero lingakuthandizeni bwanji?

4. Tikakhala ndi nkhawa, kodi pemphero lingatithandize bwanji?

⁴ Werengani Afilipi 4:6, 7. Yehova angayankhe pemphero lathu lochonderera komanso lochokera pansi pamtima. Koma kodi angayankhe bwanji? Angatipatse mtendere wamumtima umene ungatithandize kuti tisiye kuda nkhawa kwambiri. Anthu ambiri angavomereze kuti zoterezi zinawachitikirapo. Pamene anali ndi nkhawa komanso mantha Yehova anawathandiza kukhala ndi mtendere wamumtima umene umaposa kuganiza mozama kulikonse. Zoterezi zikhoza kukuchitikiraninso inuyo. Ngati muli ndi vuto linalake, “mtendere wa Mulungu” ungakuthandizeni kuti musamade nkhawa kwambiri. Muzikhulupirira lonjezo la Yehova lakuti: “Usayang’ane uku ndi uku mwamantha, pakuti ine ndine Mulungu wako. Ndikulimbitsa. Ndithu ndikuthandiza.”—Yes. 41:10.

5. Kodi Mawu a Mulungu angatithandize bwanji kukhala ndi mtendere wamumtima?

Ndipotu Yehova ananena kuti munthu akamawerenga Mawu ake amakhala ‘wolimba mtima, amachita zinthu mwamphamvu ndipo sachita mantha.’—Yos. 1:7-9.

⁶ M’Baibulo timapezamonso mawu olimbikitsa a Yesu. Zimene ankaphunzitsa komanso kulankhula zinkathandiza kwambiri anthu amene ankamumvetsera. Anthu ambiri ankapita kwa iye chifukwa ankawalimbikitsa komanso kuwatonthoza. (Werengani Mateyu 11:28-30.) Yesu anasonyeza kuti ankaganiziranso anthu ena. (Maliko 6:30-32) Mawu ake a pa Mateyu 11:28-30 akugwiranso ntchito kwa ifeyo. Ngakhale kuti Yesu salinso padzikoli, angatitsitsimule ngati mmene anachitira ndi atumwi ake. Tikutero chifukwa choti iye ndi Mfumu kumwamba ndipo akupitirizabe kutisonyeza chifundo. Angatithandize “pa nthawi imene tikufunika thandizo” chifukwa cha nkhawa. Choncho tingati Yesu amatithandiza kuti tikhale olimba mtima, tikhale ndi chiyembekezo komanso tizidziwa zochita tikakhala ndi nkhawa.—Aheb. 2:17, 18; 4:16.

⁷ Yesu ananena kuti Atate wathu wakumwamba adzapereka mzimu woyera kwa anthu amene amamupempha.

(Werengani Agalatiya 5:22, 23; Akol. 3:10) Tikamayesetsa kukhala ndi makhalidwe amene mzimu woyera umatulutsa, timagwirizana kwambiri ndi anzathu. Izi zimathandiza kuti tipewe zinthu zimene zikanatibweretsera nkhawa. Koma kodi makhalidwewa angatithandize bwanji?

Makhalidwe amene tatchulawa amathandizanso tikakumana ndi mavuto chifukwa choti tonse si angwiro.

Kutsatira malangizo a Paulo akuti, “mukhale okhutira ndi zimene muli nazo” kumathandiza kuchepetsa nkhawa.

Munthu angandichite chiyani?’”—Aheb. 13:5, 6.
