Pope Shenouda III
Train yourself to bring God into each topic and each problem.
Do not face problems on your own, or depend only on your intelligence, or on your friends to solve your problems. But have the feeling that you can not do without God in whatever faces you. Be sure that prayer will give you a feeling of security, comfort and inner peace. Be confident that your problems are in honest, strong hands, capable of guiding all your affairs.
When you pray for a problem, either God will solve it and so it comes to an end, or if it remains, God will give your heart peace concerning it.
This is another way of solving the problem.
Although the problem is still there, you are not upset about it or disturbed; it is almost as if it does not exist. You don’t consider it a problem any more... This is the effectiveness of prayer.
