Our God is: "a God Who Saves"
"Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death."
Psalm 68:20
"Hear the joyful sound of our offering
As your saints bow down, as your people sing
We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that
Our God saves, our God saves
There is hope in Your name"
-"Our God Saves" lyrics by Paul Baloche

Well would you look at that, it seems as if God saving His people from death is surely praise-worthy!!
It's self explanatory what the scripture is saying.. but do we praise God enough for this obvious rescue?
He's our hero.
You're waiting for someone to rescue you from your "death" of a situation? You wish someone would just listen to you? You wish someone would just see you for who you really are so you could stop pretending?
Death used in that scripture is PAST TENSE. That means that what you're saying that is affecting your right now, doesn't have to! He ALREADY defeated it. He ALREADY rescued you from it!
One of my favorite scriptures is in the beginning of Psalm 116 where it says "I love the Lord for He heard my voice. He heard my cry for mercy. Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live."
That right there talks about God following through with His promises in your 'death' situation, ensuring your heart that 'yes, I can trust Him time and time again to follow through and save me.' Not only that.. He hears you when you call.
Isaiah 59:1 reminds us that God's hand isn't short and His ears aren't heavy.. He reaches out to us and hears us when we call on His name to save us.
Don't forget!
1. God not only hears your voice, he listens to your cry.
2. God not only reaches, He picks you out of those things.
3. God not only has already conquered death, He has already expressed the desire to conquer your situation.
4. God is not only a God who saves, He gives you something to live for once you've been saved.

Philippians 3:7-11
7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
