Janet, I feel like Satan is using my family to discourage me from studying and getting to know jehovahJehovah.

You know, Patricia, Satan uses subtle attacks, these attacks. I like to compare tothese attacks to a colony of termites that slowly creep in and nipplenibble away at the wood of your house until it collapsecollapses. It's just like Satan. heHe would like nothing more than to destroy your relationship witwith Jehovah.

Janet, did anyanyone in the Bible ever feel like me?

Yes, take for instance, Paul, hewho was a spiritual gaintgiant. And he atAt one point, he callcalled himself a miserable man. Paul said that he felt this way because of his imperfections. He wanted to do what was right, but felt another force working against him and who do you think that force was.was?

Who Satan.Who? Satan?!

Right, SatanSatan's goal is to weaken our zeal and cause us to quit. butBut let it be your determination not to give up the fight.

You know what, JanetJanet? I will see you next week for my study.
