After ye were illuminated ye endured a great fight of afflictions
Heb. 10:32
Our boldness for God before the world must always be the result of individual dealing with God in secret. Our victories over self, and sin, and the world, are always first fought where no eye sees but God’s.… If we have not these secret conflicts, well may we not have any open ones. The outward absence of conflict betrays the inward sleep of the soul.

Private wars in private places can be those times we struggle and place the problems and sins of our lives before the throne of God. In those times and places we are brought to a place of knowing the ways of God. It is akin to praying and exalting our Lord behind closed doors.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
