How do we know God helps the barren?

Answered in 1 source

God helps those who cannot help themselves, as shown in the story of Manoah and his wife.

The theological perspective emphasizes that God does not assist the self-sufficient but rather extends His grace to the barren and needy. This is illustrated in the encounter between Manoah's wife and the angel of the Lord. The barrenness of Manoah's wife serves as a metaphor for humanity's spiritual condition—helplessness in sin. Isaiah 57:15 affirms that God dwells with the lowly and contrite. This poignant aspect of divine intervention highlights God's sovereignty and grace: He reaches out to those who recognize their inability to save themselves, offering hope and deliverance through Christ.
