Nov 23 [km] 4. What did Solomon’s request at 2 Chronicles 1:10 reveal about him, and what might we learn by analyzing our personal prayers to Jehovah? (2 Chron. 1:11, 12) [w05 12/1 p. 19 par. 6] [/u]. Our prayers to God indeed reveal what is close to our heart. We are wise to analyze their content."[/ul] Nov 30 [km] 5. According to 2 Chronicles 6:29, 30, what unique ability does Jehovah possess, and why should we open our heart to him in prayer? (Ps. 55:22) [w10 12/1 p. 11 par. 7] [/u]. “Throw all your anxiety upon him,” says the Bible, “because he cares for you.”—1 Peter 5:7."[/ul]

Dec. 7 [km] 6. On what basis did Asa pray for victory over an enormous military force, and of what may we be sure in connection with our spiritual warfare? (2 Chron. 14:11) [w12 8/15 p. 8 par. 6–p. 9 par. 1] [/u].’ So it was that “Jehovah defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians took to flight.”—2 Chron. 14:12. Today, Jehovah’s people face many powerful opponents. We will not fight them with material weapons on a literal battlefield. Yet, we can be sure that Jehovah will reward with victory all faithful ones who wage spiritual warfare in his name. Our personal battles may include exertion to resist the pervading spirit of moral laxity, to fight our own weaknesses, or to protect our family from defiling influences. Whatever adversity we face, however, we can find encouragement in Asa’s prayer. His victory was Jehovah’s victory. It showed what can be expected by all who rely upon God. No human power can withstand Jehovah. "[/ul] Dec. 14 [km] 7. How does the way in which Jehovah dealt with King Jehoshaphat’s failings assure us of God’s love, and how should this affect our view of others? (2 Chron. 19:3) [w05 12/1 p. 19 par. 6] ; [w03 7/1 p. 17 par. 13] ; [cl p. 245 par. 12] [/u] Take, for example, good King Jehoshaphat. When the king committed a foolish act, Jehovah’s prophet told him: “For this there is indignation against you from the person of Jehovah.” What a sobering thought! But Jehovah’s message did not end there. It went on: “Nevertheless, there are good things that have been found with you.” (2 Chronicles 19:1-3) So Jehovah’s righteous anger did not blind him to the “good things” about Jehoshaphat. Is it not reassuring to know that our God looks for the good in us even though we are imperfect?"[/ul] [/u]."[/ul] Dec. 21 [km] 8. Why and how must we “take [our] position” and “stand still” in our day? (2 Chron. 20:17)
[w05 12/1 p. 21 par. 2] ; [w03 6/1 p. 21 pars. 15-16] [/u]."[/ul]

Dec. 28 [tfgw] 9. What sobering reminder do we discern in 2 Chronicles 21:20 in connection with the death of Jehoram? [w98 11/15 p. 32 par. 4] [/u]"[/ul] Dec. 28 [km] 10. According to 2 Chronicles 26:5, who exercised a good influence on young Uzziah, and how can youths today benefit from mature Christians in the congregation? [w07 12/15 p. 10 pars. 2] ; [4] [/u]to do what was right. The Expositor’s Bible observes that Zechariah was obviously “a man versed in sacred learning, rich in spiritual experience, and able to communicate his knowledge.” One Bible scholar concluded about Zechariah: “He was well versed in prophecy and . . . was an intelligent, devout, good man; and, it seems, had great influence with Uzziah.” " "Do you have someone who might be called an instructor, a mentor, who influences you “to search for God”? This can be so whether you are young or past the days of your youth, whether you are male or female. Treasure such a mentor, for his or her admonition can help you to keep doing what is right in Jehovah’s eyes. Listen to this mature Christian, and seriously consider the advice he gives. May you never turn aside from the wise words of such an “instructor in the fear of the true God.”—Proverbs 1:5; 12:15; 19:20."[/ul]
