Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

One more thing on davening: very different personal requests for personal needs, and davening on behalf of others and especially the whole klal Yisrael:

For personal needs, the correct approach is to request, not demand, and accept and make peace with the result.

For others, a demand or even challenge can be praiseworthy
. For example- Moshe Rabbeinu was taught by Hashem to even daven for reshaim, and when he did, he “threatened” Hashem, “V’im ayin, micheini na misifricha.”

Obviously such language would be inappropriate if asking for a higher paycheck or even refuah etc.

Rochel Imeinu challenged Hashem as well, “Can Your mercy be less than Your creations??”

Not exactly polite requests accepting whatever the outcome.

And yet in their zechus, BY were saved from extermination, and Moshe is lauded as the first and prime leader of klal Yisrael, and Rochel was the only one who got the promise of vshavu bonim ligvulum from Hashem.

They werent condemned for inappropriate demands or language, quite the opposite.
