A Great Song By Chaim Dovid

In one place in Shmoneh Esrei we praise G-d for lovingly redeeming the descendants of the The Avot for he sake of his name.
 
In another part of it we ask G-d to “speedily redeemm us for the sake of Your Name.”

How do these 2 parts of the same orayer fit together?
 
Is the first talking about a partial process and the second asking for completion?

Is the first one an attempt to influence G-d, as it were, as if to say, don’t make liars for having said you’re doing this?

Can you identify these two times that we speak of redemption of the Jewish People for the sake of G-d’s name?

What are your thoughts on this topic?
