Ngokutsho kolunye uhlolisiso, i-80 pesenti yolutsha olufikisayo lwaseMerika luyathandaza, kodwa sisiqingatha salo esithandaza yonke imihla. Ngokuqinisekileyo, olunye ulutsha luyazibuza: ‘Ngaba ukuthandaza yindlela nje yokuzenza uzive bhetele okanye kukho into engaphaya koko?’

•  Yintoni umthandazo?

•  Ngaba uThixo uyayimamela imithandazo?

•  Zintoni izinto endinokuzithandazela?

•  Okuthethwa lolunye ulutsha

Umthandazo kukuthetha noMdali wazo zonke izinto. Khawucinge ngoko kuthethwa koku! UYehova mkhulu kunabantu ngandlela zonke, kodwa ‘akakude kuye ngamnye wethu.’ (IZenzo 17:27) Phofu iBhayibhile inesi simemo: “Sondelani kuThixo, naye uya kusondela kuni.”​—Yakobi 4:8.

Ungasondela njani kuThixo?

• Enye indlela kukuthandaza​—ngaloo ndlela uthetha noThixo.

• Enye indlela kukufunda iBhayibhile​—ngaloo ndlela uThixo uthetha nawe.

Ukuncokola ngaloo ndlela​—ngomthandazo nokufunda iBhayibhile​—loo nto iya kukunceda uqinise ubuhlobo bakho noThixo.

“Ukuthetha noYehova​—ukuncokola Noyena Thixo Uphakamileyo​—lelona lungelo abantu banokuba nalo.”​—UJeremy.

“Ukuncokola noYehova ngeemvakalelo zam ngomthandazo kundenza ndizive ndisondele kuye.”​—UMiranda.

Enoba uyakholelwa kuThixo​—enoba uyathandaza kuye​—kusenokuba nzima ukuyikholelwa into yokuba uyayimamela. Kodwa ke, iBhayibhile ithi, uYehova ‘ngumphulaphuli wemithandazo.’ (INdumiso 65:2) Ide ithi, “liphoseni kuye lonke ixhala lenu.” Ngoba? “Kuba unikhathalele.”​—1 Petros 5:7.

Khawucinge ngoku: Ngaba uhlala uchitha ixesha uncokola nabahlobo bakho? Ungenza njalo nakuThixo. Thandaza kuye yonke imihla, usebenzise igama lakhe, uYehova. (INdumiso 86:​5-7; 88:9) Ewe kona, iBhayibhile ithi, “thandazani ngokungapheziyo.”​—1 Tesalonika 5:17.

“Umthandazo yincoko ephakathi kwam noTata osezulwini, endikhuphela kuye imbilini yam.”​—UMoises.

“Ndincokola noYehova ngazo zonke izinto njengokuba bendiya kwenza njalo kumama okanye kumhlobo osondeleyo.”​—UKaren.

IBhayibhile ithi; “Ezintweni zonke zaziseni izibongozo zenu kuThixo ngomthandazo nesikhungo nombulelo”​—Filipi 4:6.

Ngaba loo nto ithetha ukuba kulungile ukuthandaza ngeengxaki zakho? Kunjalo! Kangangokuba iBhayibhile ithi: “Umthwalo wakho wulahlele kuYehova, yaye yena wokuxhasa”​—INdumiso 55:22.

Kakade ke, xa uthandaza kuThixo, umele uthethe nangezinye izinto kunokusoloko uthetha ngeengxaki zakho. UChantelle intombazana eselula ithi: “Andinakuba ngumhlobo olungileyo ukuba ndicela uncedo kuphela kuYehova. Ndicinga ukuba ndimele ndibulele kuqala, yaye zininzi izinto endimele ndibulele ngazo.”

Khawucinge ngoku: Ziintoni izinto onokumbulela ngazo uYehova? Ziziphi izinto ezintathu onokumbulela ngazo uYehova namhlanje?

“Nento encinci njengobuhle bentyatyambo, isenokusenza sifune ukumbulela uYehova.”​—UAnita.

“Cingisisa ngento oyithandayo kwindalo okanye ivesi yeBhayibhile ekuchukumisayo uze umbulele uYehova ngayo.”​—UBrian.
