On the geulah for Shemos there is a saying, it is always the darkest before dawn. The geulah comes stepwise as sunrise.
The Pelei Yoetz explains that when we say ‘לישועתך קויתי ה we should keep in mind that the shechina is also in galus and pray for it, for Your (Hashem) salvation.
We should emulate our Avos, as the Baal Haturim in Voeschanan explains that ואהבת has the same letters as האבות (Rashi Vairo, el haavos). Similarly, like Avraham Avinu, בכל לבבך who dedicated his whole heart, בכל נפשך like Yitzchak Avinu who sacrificed himself and בכל מאדך like Yaakov Avinu who dedicated his money to Hashem (giving maaser) by showing their love towards Him.
