The Chasan Sofer is very nice, but it is not fair to post it here. The Chasan Sofer is diametrically opposed to Reb Yerucham’s idea that Rabbi Bukspan said over, and it’s not right to weaken the impact of Reb Yerucham’s idea.
Reb Yerucham is saying that we all know how to daven when we are to be hanged within the week, and we have to learn from the Avos that even daily tefilla should be said with the awareness that we need rachamei Hashem every moment of our lives, not only when we are faced with obvious existential threats.
The Chasan Sofer says “tiken” means that we can’t possibly have proper kavana, so the Avos imbued the required kavanos into davening, so we can rely on the power the Avos put into tefilla even if we don’t have proper kavana.
