Reply To: Classics and Beyond Masei – We Need Hope to Cope

We say לישועתך קויתי כל היום, I hope for your help. The Pelei Yoetz explains that this refers to the help of Hashem Himself as the shechina is also in galus, עמו אנכי בצרה, Hashem is with us in galus. The Arvei Nachal says המתפלל בעד אחרים, whoever prays for the wellbeing of others, including Hashem, הוא נענה תחלה, will be answered first, as in galus we also need help.
