Bitachon Wins Wars
The Pri Migadim (602) says the words in al hanissin on Chanukah ואתה ברחמיך הרבים עמדת להם בעת צרתם refer to the fact that Hashem redeemed Klal Yisrael even though they did not pray. It would seem to the P.M. the words הרבים indicate a yeshua not prayed for. However, the Magen Avraham (285) says in the name of the Tashbatz Katan that the Chasmonaim said what we say on motzei Shabbat, ויהי נועם ויושב בסתר (which if you add the 112 words of יושב בסתר, 12 words *2 of ויהי נועם and אורך ימים 5 words *2 = 130 gematria of הכהנים.) So that woul eem to indicate they did pray? In the sefer Bney Binah he suggests that this is was not words aid as prayer but are pessukim of bitachon. The Chasmonaim were solidifying their bitachon in Hashem and that was the merit to win the war. We find this concept by krias yam suf were Bnei Yisrael are told not to daven but to just trust in hashem. That is the guarantee of success even when tefillah will not be accepted. Bitachon works to break all barriers.
