The promise here is that God is present with us in our troubles, issuing commands to save us before we ask. God does not ignore our suffering and cries.

You can die now, you can let go, and because that is true, you can begin to live!

God is not a preoccupied parent, he’s an invested and interested tender loving Father. He values what perplexes us.
03/03/22
This is the patient love of God. He is stubborn about the salvation of sinners. He will not be rushed even if his name is mocked, and the trustworthiness of his promises are called into question.

This world of unbearable grief and accidental calamity is being renewed and, soon, will be completely bereft of every pernicious foe.

The sword of the spirit in Holy Scripture does indeed show us our sin, but thanks be to God, it also shows us our Savior.

Our hope is God's mercy. It's like a well that never dries up. His mercies were there before he created us. They are present for us today.
