Which other scriptures emphasize God's faithfulness in answering prayers for deliverance? Confidence anchored in Psalm 108:6 “Save with Your right hand, and answer me, that Your beloved may be delivered.” (Psalm 108:6) David’s plea rests on two certainties: God hears and God saves. Scripture echoes this theme again and again. Echoes within the Psalms • Psalm 34:17 — “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.” • Psalm 50:15 — “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.” • Psalm 91:14-15 — “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him… When he calls out to Me, I will answer him… I will deliver and honor him.” • Psalm 107:6 — “Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.” • Psalm 138:7 — “If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me… Your right hand will save me.” Historic rescues that became national memory • Exodus 14:13-14 — “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the LORD’s salvation... The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” • 2 Samuel 22:2-4 — “The LORD is my rock… I call upon the LORD… and I am saved from my enemies.” • 2 Chronicles 14:11 — “Asa cried out… ‘Help us, O LORD our God, for we depend on You.’” • 2 Chronicles 20:9 — “…we will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.” Prophetic assurances for every generation • Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear… I will strengthen you… I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” • Isaiah 43:2 — “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… the flames will not set you ablaze.” • Jeremiah 33:3 — “Call to Me and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things.” • Jonah 2:2 — “In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered me.” • Daniel 6:22 — “My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions.” Deliverance woven into New-Testament experience • Acts 12:5-11 — The church prays, an angel appears, and Peter walks out of prison: “The Lord has sent His angel and rescued me.” • 2 Corinthians 1:10-11 — “He has delivered us… He will deliver us again, as you help us by your prayers.” • 2 Timothy 4:17-18 — “I was delivered from the lion’s mouth… The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed.” • 2 Peter 2:9 — “The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials.” Everyday promises for believers now • Philippians 4:6-7 — “By prayer and petition… present your requests to God… and the peace of God will guard your hearts.” • 1 Peter 5:7 — “Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” • 1 John 5:14-15 — “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us… we know that we have what we asked of Him.” The same right hand that David trusted still moves. From the Red Sea to the empty prison cell, Scripture stitches together one clear testimony: when God’s people cry out, He answers—and He delivers. |
