Where does my help come from?

Observation: In the Bible, when God's people are faced with an overwhelming problem, they often address Him as the "One who made heaven and earth."

ESV 2 Kings 19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: "O LORD the God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

ESV Psalm 121:1 A SONG OF ASCENTS.I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? 2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

ESV Psalm 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

ESV Psalm 146:5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, 6
who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever;

ESV Acts 4:23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them,

Like Hezekiah, in the story above, we have an Adversary who shouts from outside the walls, "Don't think your God is big enough to get you out of this mess!" But another, still, small Voice, whispers, "Your God created the heavens and the earth. Do you really think there is any mess that He cannot deliver you from?"
