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.
