The Lord will deliver us

Isaiah 36:1-22
Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. When the commander stopped at the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field, The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah: This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours?"
 “Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.Have the gods of any nations ever delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria? 
Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went to Hezekiah, with their clothes torn, and told him what the field commander had said.
The three chapters are a straightforward historical account, after all the prophecies of chapters 1-35. See on 2 Kings 18-20, an almost identical account apart from Isaiah's omission of Hezekiah's initial cave-in to Sennacherib.
Why?
My god is a living God who listen to my pray. God is my savior my fortress and my strength.
Yes the Lord will deliver us, even I have sins when we turn to Him, he will help us.
God makes wonder beyond humans imaging.
God listen to the prayer of a righteousness man.
How?
Fear the Lord and follow God's command, God is the fountain of blessing. The Lord will deliver us.
