God's Immediate Answer
Commentators highlight that God's promise of restoration is not a future possibility but an immediate reality. John Calvin notes that God has already answered their repentance, and John Gill suggests the answer comes even as they are praying. For God, as Matthew Henry puts it, "saying and doing are not two things." This shows God's eagerness to be gracious and restore His people the moment they turn to Him in faith.
