Let the high praises of God be in our throats (from Psalm 149:6).

Stand Firm
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith . . . praying at all times (Ephesians 6:16-18).
Pray with faith. “The strongest and greatest character is grown through hardship.”*
*L.B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert, p.105
Quiet Solitude
Jesus went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone (Matthew 14:23).
“Oh, the thought of having God all alone to myself, and knowing that God has me all alone to Himself!”*
*Andrew Murray as quoted in Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman, p. 403.
Pray about Everything
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6).
“‘In everything’ — not simply when our house is on fire or when our beloved spouse and children are gravely ill, but even in the smallest matters of life. We are to take everything to God — little things, very little things, even what the world calls trivial. Yes, we are to take everything, living all day long in holy fellowship with our heavenly Father and precious Lord Jesus.”*
*L.B. Cowman, Streams in the Desert, p.386.

You are the God of all comfort! Comfort my friend in her affliction, so she can comfort others (from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
