 In order for us to obtain relief from our pride, we need confidence in our redemption from slavery to sin and self separated from His love. Because He willingly endured the cross by taking on the full wrath of the Father,  we are efficiently delivered from the power of sin and the law, having present help in our time of need. Christ generously paid the sufficient price for our shameful pride. We were completely taken care of in Christ. Presently we can come boldly before the eternal throne of grace and find help in time of need. We are graciously receiving an ongoing assurance through His suffering. He listens carefully to our complaints and requests as one who is the fountain of irresistible grace. And even tho we experience corruption and familiar pain by an incomplete understanding of His divine power yet there is no loss to us who seek Him with all of our sincere hearts. We are unconcerned for our own safety when we compare our limited strength to His all-powerful defense.

 But instead of discouraging weak sinners, He comes to our aid and calms our fears.  There is more power available to us than we find in our floundering pragmatic satisfaction. We are invited to be supernaturally illuminated in being freed from the bondage of unpleasant worry. He steers us away from pragmatic pain. He not only prevents us from pining away in our lack of understanding, but He communicates renewed life supernaturally enabling us to dwell in perfect peace. He comprehends our needs more than we do and He grants us more of His grace than the limits of our selfish understanding.
