Prayers during adversity

"Being a doer of the word is just as important as praying. If you separate the two, it's a sign of a lack of faith. Going through trials is an important part of strengthening one's faith. Temptation can be avoided by prayer, but trials should not be. Our prayers are like sweet incense to God, and He rejoices when His children pray. It's important to be honest about our hurts and bring them to God to find healing. Cultivate a strong prayer life and never fear again. Your strength is tied to your prayer life. Those who criticize tend to have a weak prayer life. Fighting the enemy is best done through praise and prayer."
