Deny or Not?

Many are convinced they would never deny Jesus. Nothing in the Bible suggests God or Jesus will intervene in persecution. If that is correct there is the possibility we could find ourselves in a situation of denying Jesus or watch ourr spouse and/or children tortured and killed. This suggests we ought to appreciate our situation instead of taking it for granted. Based on what I hear in prayers we do not intellectually absorb what is prayed for and since we do not expect results we do not wonder why when there are none.
