God is ready to help us and none of our problems or troubles are too big or too small for God. God is always right there to deliver or save us in times of trouble. The word deliver means save or rescue. He rescued Moses from danger and we have to trust He will do the same for us when we need Him. All we need to do is ask, and He will help us.
