How do we know that God can intervene in our lives?

The story in Mark 9 about the boy afflicted by a deaf and dumb spirit shows that God not only sees our plight but is also willing to intervene. As the father cries for help, Jesus responds with power, illustrating that divine intervention is part of God’s character. The narratives of other biblical figures, such as Jairus and the Syro-Phoenician woman, further emphasize that persistent faith and the act of 'begging for mercy' are often met with God’s grace and intervention. This truth is consistently mirrored in the teachings of the New Testament, where it emphasizes that God is compassionate and actively works to save those who seek Him earnestly.
