Amidah: Redemption: Rav Schwab on Prayer
“And redeem us speedily for Your Name’s sake.” This does not refer to the eventual Final Redemption at the time of the Messiah. Rather, this is a prayer for protection against the daily assaults, fears, apprehensions, and persecutions that our people face, whether in Israel or anywhere else in the world.
The redemption to which we refer here is the beginning of the redemption, which started as soon as the exile began.
