Throw all your anxiety upon [God].—1 Pet. 5:7.
Baptism is a life-altering step that should not be taken lightly. Are you mature enough to consider this step seriously? Maturity means more than being able to give good talks from the platform or impressive answers during a meeting. It requires being able to make decisions based on an understanding of Bible principles. (Heb. 5:14) If you are at a stage in life where you can do that, then what lies before you is the greatest privilege of all—that of serving Jehovah wholeheartedly and living in a way that shows that you are truly dedicated to him. Immediately after baptism, you may feel a surge of enthusiasm for serving God. Soon, though, you may face trials that will test your faith and resilience. (2 Tim. 3:12) Do not feel that you have to deal with these trials alone. Jehovah cares for you, and he will give you the strength needed to face any circumstance that may arise. w10 11/15 3:16, 17
