Paradox #1

Psalm 108:6 talks about asking for God's help and deliverance to save those He loves. A possible contradiction might arise if someone questions why a loving and all-powerful God needs to be asked to save people instead of acting benevolently at all times without being prompted. Some might see this as inconsistent with the concept of an all-caring deity.
