SF -- Pray to HaShem and Bring the Redemption

"In You Hashem I take refuge; I shall not be ashamed forever."

(Tehillim 71:1-2)

Only continuous entreating HaShem --"prayer after prayer" -- increases the strength and illuminates the light for the Divine Presence and the People of Israel. Thus, the Holy King awakens to rescue His beloved children from the hands of their enemies. The Divine Presence and His children -- the People of Israel -- take refuge in His holy Name, as the verse (Eichah 3:24) states, "'My portion is Hashem,' says my soul."

It is unjust that the People of Israel are ashamed forever and precluded from seeing His Light and receiving Divine Assistance. This deterrence of HaShem's revealed deliverance would be a flaw in His honor, as the verse states, "In You Hashem I take refuge, I shall not be ashamed forever."

There is an additional reference to the embarrassment of the Divine Presence; thus, HaShem will not tolerate Her suffering. He will awaken to deliver and extract Her from shame, for He embraces Righteousness and Kindness.

Pray to HaShem "prayer after prayer" to awaken the Divine Redemption.
