Someone at your workplace finds out your're a Christian and begins to persecute you. It hurts. It may even anger you but you've chosen to "turn the other cheek." It only gets worse. The persecutor attacks Jesus' name with ridicule and lies, and, he's now gotten others to join him. What do you do now? Do you get angry with God because He won't defend Himself? Do you feel so all alone and scared that you retreat? You're no different than the original disciples. That didn't change His love for them; and, it doesn't change His love for you. It didn't alter His purpose and calling for them; and, it won't for you. It did make them realize that without the power of God given to them, they, in and of themselves, could do nothing. So must you , dear Christian. They were told to wait for "another Comforter." They gathered, they prayed, they waited--and, they received the power to be witnesses of Jesus Christ. Think about it.
