The trust in the coming of Moshiach must be in the manner spoken about regarding Chizkiya, who had totally confidence in G-d, to the point that he said to G-d, “I do nothave the strength to kill, to pursue,[and even] to sing, rather I will sleep on my bed and You will do.” That is, without looking upon Sancheriv surrounding Yerushalayim with all his army,promising to make peace on special conditions, he had complete confidence in G-d, to the point that he went to sleep on his bed, and his sleep was sweet due to this trust (not as one who worries so much that it is impossible for him to sleep), and G-d goes to war on his behalf, as is written, “And the angel of G-d went out and smote the camp of Ashur, etc.”

By the same token, each person must believe with absolute certainty in the coming of Moshiach, without any doubt and in a manner of “I will await him every day,” even when from the aspect of logical [and natural] “estimations,” he doesn’t see any source for this, and this very trust will hasten and speed up his arrival, speedily mamash.
