“Therefore tell the Israelites: I am Yahweh, and I will deliver you from the forced labor of the Egyptians and free you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and great acts of judgment. I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who delivered you from the forced labor of the Egyptians. I will bring you to the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.” (Exodus 6:6-8)

The same applies for us today. Whether we are enslaved to an addiction, the weight of our past, fear of our future, or our own fallenness and frailty, God speaks life and promises freedom. YAHWEH, the One who breathed the stars into existence, the One who simply uttered His voice and literally 'everything' came into existence, the One who, when we were so covered in sin, at our worst, "while we were God's enemies", He died for us, rose from the grave, defeated death, and gave us victory. This very same God sees your affliction, and He hears your groaning, and now He promises to act.
So don't give up fighting. Don't give up trying. You WILL be free very soon.

"But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord’s salvation He will provide for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you must be quiet.”" (Exodus 14:13-14)
