Note 13 at 2 Cor. 1:11: Paul is stating that the prayers of the Corinthians helped bring about his deliverance from physical harm and resulted in glory and thanksgiving to God.

One Greek verb, "sunupourgeo," is used for the English phrase "helping together," and carries the idea of someone in union who is helping to assist. Prayer is always a vehicle that has been used to assist and help God's people.

Some further examples of biblical deliverance through prayer are: Abraham entreating for Abimelech (Gen. 20:17), Moses praying for the healing of Miriam (Num. 12:13-16), Israel's cry for deliverance from (Ex. 2:23-25), the priests and Levities prayer for the people (2 Chr. 30:27), Hezekiah and Isaiah's prayer for deliverance from Sennacherib (2 Ki. 19:14-20; 2 Chr. 32:20-23), Daniel's prayer for Israel concerning their sin (Dan. 9:20), the centurion for his servant (Mt. 8:5-13), Peter's prayer for the restoring of Tabitha to life (Acts 9:40), and the church's prayer for Peter's deliverance from prison (Acts 12:5-17).

Prayer works!
