Blamed for setting fire to the city in 64 C.E. and accused of hating mankind, Christ’s followers were objects of intense hostility. If you were a Christian back then, you would daily face the possibility of being arrested and tortured. Some of your spiritual brothers and sisters might have been torn to pieces by animals or nailed to a stake and burned alive to serve as nighttime illumination.</p> <p id="p8" data-pid="8" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="2"><strong><sup>2</sup></strong></span> It was likely in this volatile situation that the apostle Paul was imprisoned in Rome for the second time. Would other Christians come to his aid? Paul may have had some initial concerns in that regard, for he wrote to Timothy: “In my first defense no one came to my side, but they all forsook me—may they not be held accountable.” Even so, Paul acknowledged that he had not been entirely without help. He wrote: “But the Lord stood near me and infused power into me.” Yes, the Lord Jesus provided the power Paul needed. And just how practical was that divine help? Note the results: “I was rescued <span id="page25" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="25" data-before-text="25"></span>from the lion’s mouth.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/2/0" data-bid="3-1" class="b">2 Tim. 4:16, 17</a>.<a id="footnotesource1" data-fnid="1" class="fn" href="/en/wol/fn/r1/lp-e/2015286/0">a</a></p> <p id="p9" data-pid="9" data-rel-pid="[36]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="3"><strong><sup>3</sup></strong></span> Recalling that experience must have strengthened Paul, helping him to trust that Jehovah would fortify him to endure his present trials and any future difficulties that might arise.

It could have been lack of employment, pressures at school, a health problem, or some other distressing circumstance. Perhaps you asked for assistance, but others disappointed you by falling far short of providing what you needed. Indeed, some problems simply cannot be solved by mere human help. Under such circumstances, is the Bible’s counsel to “trust in Jehovah” empty advice? (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/4/0" data-bid="5-1" class="b">Prov. 3:5, 6</a>) Is it meaningless?

Yet, trusting that Jehovah will provide what you need can be quite a challenge. Why? One reason may be that Jehovah does not always respond right away.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/6/0" data-bid="7-1" class="b">Ps. 13:1, 2;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/6/1" data-bid="7-2" class="b"> 74:10;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/6/2" data-bid="7-3" class="b"> 89:46;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/6/3" data-bid="7-4" class="b"> 90:13;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/6/4" data-bid="7-5" class="b"> Hab. 1:2</a>.</p> <p id="p39" data-pid="39" class="qu"> <strong>7.</strong> Why does Jehovah not always answer our prayers immediately?</p> <p id="p15" data-pid="15" data-rel-pid="[39]" class="sb"><span class="parNum" data-pnum="7"><strong><sup>7</sup></strong></span> Why does Jehovah not give us an immediate response to our every request? Recall that he likens our relationship with him to that of children with a father. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/7/0" data-bid="8-1" class="b">Ps. 103:13</a>) A child cannot rightly expect a parent to grant every request or to do so right away. Some of a child’s requests may be mere passing whims. Others must wait till the time is right. Still others may not be in the child’s best interests or in the best interests of others involved. Furthermore, to concede immediately to a child’s every request would change the relationship to one of master and slave, the child being the master. Similarly, Jehovah may in our best interests allow time to pass before his response to our prayers becomes evident. That is his prerogative as our wise Creator, loving Master, and heavenly Father. Fulfilling all our requests right away would distort the proper relationship between us and him.—Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/8/0" data-bid="9-1" class="b">Isaiah 29:16;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/2015286/8/1" data-bid="9-2" class="b"> 45:9</a>.</p> <p id="p40" data-pid="40" class="qu"> <strong>8.</strong> What does Jehovah promise with regard to our personal limitations?</p> <p id="p16" data-pid="16" data-rel-pid="[40]" class="sb"><span id="page26" class="pageNum" aria-hidden="true" data-no="26" data-before-text="26"></span><span class="parNum" data-pnum="8"><strong><sup>8</sup></strong></span> Another factor is that Jehovah is fully aware of our limitations.
