13. How can we reflect Jehovah’s patience in our ministry?

13 The need for patience may arise when we study the Bible with people who find it hard to abandon cherished false beliefs or unscriptural customs. In such cases, we may need to allow a reasonable amount of time for God’s spirit to work on the heart of the student. (1 Cor. 3:6, 7) Also, we do well to make the subject a matter of prayer. In one way or another and at the right time, God will help us to know the wise course to take.​—1 John 5:14.

To reflect Jehovah's patience in our ministry, we need to remember that some people may struggle to let go of their long-held beliefs. It’s important for us to be patient and give them time while allowing God's spirit to work on their hearts. Praying about our approach can also guide us in knowing what to do next.
