“Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.” Psalm 22:11 (NIV)
Although we may not know the details of how exactly God answered this prayer, we can still read it to encourage us. We can trust in promises we have learned that God is nearby us all the time, even when we do not feel it. He promises to not desert us or to forsake us. We believe that God has preserved His Word in our Bible to do just that. We believe that God did answer David's prayer in this Psalm and He will answer our prayers when we ask Him. He knows when trouble is near to His own and He will be near, very near at all times like that. So this is a prayer that we can pray in perfect confidence. Although these words are not in a form of a promise, yet God has allowed the prayer to be included because He has already promised to be always with His own. So be encouraged to pray as David did whenever you need it.
