How does God deal with His prophets in times of trouble?

Answered in 1 source

God allows His prophets to experience trouble to fulfill His purposes and refine their faith.

Throughout the Bible, God’s prophets faced significant challenges as part of their divine calling. For instance, Jeremiah faced mockery, persecution, and personal anguish. Yet, these difficulties were fundamentally tied to God's mission for him. God had ordained Jeremiah as a prophet for nations, which included enduring suffering for the sake of bearing witness to the truth. In 1 Peter 1:6-7, we learn that trials test the genuineness of faith. Thus, God’s dealings with His prophets underscore His sovereign control over circumstances, utilizing adversity to accomplish His will and to mold His servants into vessels of honor.
