"Sometimes your needs may be physical. For instance, you may worry that you will not have enough food to eat. However, it is Jehovah who created the natural cycle needed to grow food, even for young ravens that call out for it! (Read Psalm 147:8, 9.) If he continues to feed the ravens, you can trust that Jehovah will provide your material necessities too.—Ps. 37:25" - w17 7/15 p. 19 par 9

"Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows." - Matthew 10:29-31

**Fifth sparrow/ Hairs numbered - Lk 12:6, 7; Mt 10:30

". If we apply to ourselves what the Scriptures say about Jehovah’s love and concern for his worshippers, including the downhearted, we can reject the satanic lie that Jehovah could never love us or approve of us. (Ps. 34:18 ; 1 Pet. 5:8 ) " - rr p. 7 par 6

"Simone has experienced the power of God’s Word. She had very low self-worth, to the point of doubting that she was the kind of person God would approve of. However, during times of discouragement, she persevered in prayer, turning to Jehovah for his help. She also kept busy in her personal study of the Bible. She says, “I have never been in a situation where I have not felt Jehovah’s strength and his guidance.” This has helped her to try to remain as positive as possible." - w17 7/15 p. 21 par 17

"Because of her past experience, one sister found it hard to love Jehovah. “When my past and other issues brought me to emotional exhaustion,” she said, “I knew that I had to talk with the elders. They did not berate me or criticize me, but they encouraged me and strengthened me. After every congregation meeting, no matter how busy they were, at least one of them would ask how I was. Because of my past, I found it difficult to feel worthy of God’s love. Time and time again, however, Jehovah has used the congregation and the elders to confirm his love for me. I pray that I will never let him go.”" - w18 3/18 p. 31 par 17

Some may struggle to believe that God loves them because they have never been shown love. If you face that challenge, try making a list each day of ways that Jehovah has shown mercy and kindness to you. (Ps. 78:38, 39; Rom. 8:32)- w19 7/15 sa27

" A number of us have battled feelings of low self-worth since childhood. (Ps. 88:15) A brother named Adrián says: “I have always felt worthless. Some of my earliest memories are of praying that my family would make it into Paradise, although I was sure that I was not good enough to be there.” Tony, who did not grow up in a Christian home, says: “My parents never told me that they loved me or were proud of me. The message was that I could always do better.”" - w24 3/15 #13 par 4

"Christ's ransom sacrifice is the most potent answer to the satanic lie that we are worthless and unlovable" - w95 4/1

If we at times struggle with feelings of worthlessness, we can remember that in his own way, Jehovah drew us to him. (John 6:44) He sees the good in us that we may not see in ourselves, and he knows our heart. (1 Sam. 16:7; 2 Chron. 6:30) So we can trust him when he says that we are precious.​—1 John 3:19, 20.- w24 3/15 #13 p.5

"Even if others have mistreated you, you can be certain that Jehovah loves you and values you. He “is close to the brokenhearted.” (Read Psalm 34:18.) If you feel “crushed in spirit,” remember that Jehovah saw good things in your heart and personally drew you to him. (John 6:44) He is always ready to help you because you are precious to him." - w24/1O #40

Satan wants us to give up in the fight to do what is right. He wants us to believe that Jehovah does not love us, that we are not worth saving. But as we have seen, nothing could be further from the truth.-
w21 4/15 #17 par 18[treasured]

Are you battling a personality flaw or a persistent sinful tendency? If so, you can gain hope by studying Peter’s example. How so? Consider this: Peter’s shortcomings could easily have been omitted from the Bible record. However, they were included under inspiration as lessons for us. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17) Learning about this man who had weaknesses and feelings like ours can help us to see that Jehovah does not expect perfection from us. He wants us to persevere​—to keep trying—​despite our weaknesses. w23 9/15 #40 par 2

"Some may struggle to believe that God loves them because they have never been shown love. If you face that challenge, try making a list each day of ways that Jehovah has shown mercy and kindness to you. (Ps. 78:38, 39; Rom. 8:32)" - w19 7/15

"we must not think that physical strength, education, cultural background, or material wealth determine how valuable we are. These things are not what make us useful to Jehovah. In fact, not many of God’s people are “wise in a fleshly way, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.” Instead, Jehovah has chosen to use “the weak things of the world.” (1 Cor. 1:26, 27) " - w20/7 #29 par 9

"Paul also acknowledged that his opposers viewed him as weak. But he did not allow the negative viewpoint of others or his own weaknesses to make him feel worthless.​—2 Cor. 10:10-12, 17, 18" - w20/7 #29 p. 2
