How can every Jew honestly say 3 times each day, in the Shmone Esrei (some days 4 times, and on Yom Kippur 5 times) the words מעולם קיוינו לך - forever we have placed our hope in You.
How many people have truly FOREVER placed their hope in Hashem?
[Same question regarding "ki l'yeshuascha kivinu kol hayom" - Are our hopes for Hashem's Salvation the "entire day"? Don't most of us put our hopes in other means sometimes?]
[Note: I don't mean whether we are always, at every moment, thinking about our hopes in Hashem, I mean that sometimes our hopes are in other things other than Hashem, so how can we say forever we have placed our hope in You, or we have hoped for your salvation all day?]
