How do we know that God's mercy is effective?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is effective because it leads to deliverance for those who cry out in faith and dependency.

God's mercy, as expressed in Psalm 109, is described as good and essential for deliverance. David's plea, 'But do thou for me, O God the Lord,' reveals a dependency on God's actions to save where we cannot save ourselves. We see that true mercy brings about real change, as illustrated by the publican who cried for mercy and went home justified (Luke 18:14). The consistent testimony of scripture affirms that God hears the cries of the humbled and responds with promises of help and healing. Jeremiah 30:17 speaks to God restoring health, indicating the restoration that follows sincere cries for mercy.
