What does the Bible say about trusting God in persecution?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that even in persecution, we should trust in God for deliverance, as seen in Psalm 7 where David places his trust in the Lord amidst unjust suffering.

Psalm 7 portrays David, who, despite being heavily persecuted unjustly by King Saul, exemplifies deep trust in the Lord. In the psalm, David does not take matters into his own hands but instead calls out to God, saying, 'Oh Lord my God, in Thee do I put my trust. Save me from all them that persecute me and deliver me.' This illustrates the biblical principle that trusting God in trials arises from acknowledging our dependence on His power for justice and salvation, especially when faced with overwhelming adversity. Moreover, Jesus Christ, as our intercessor, shows us through His own suffering how to trust God perfectly, even in the face of persecution.
