Prayer for Patience,Perseverence,and Steadfastness
وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
When they advanced to meet Goliath and his forces they prayed:
"Our Lord! pour out constancy on us and make our steps firm; help
us against those that reject faith."
وَمَا تَنْقِمُ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّنَا لَمَّا جَاءَتْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَتَوَفَّنَا مُسْلِمِينَ
"But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we
believed in the signs of our Lord when they reached us! Our
Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy and take our souls
unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)"! 1083
قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
He said: "I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah
and I know from Allah that which ye know not... 1760

وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَانَا سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَىٰ مَا آذَيْتُمُونَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ
"No reason have we why we should not put our trust on Allah.
Indeed He has guided us to the Ways we (follow). We shall
certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us: for
those who put their trust should put their trust on Allah."
وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيْقٍ مِمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ
And do thou be patient for thy patience is but from Allah; nor
grieve over them: and distress not thyself because of their
plots. 2164
For Allah is with those who restrain themselves and those who do
good. 2165
قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا
Say: "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you: for He is
well-acquainted with His servants and He sees (all things)."
