It can be defined in different ways. Like:

- According to Islamic law, sabr refers to a group of people who respond favorably to Allah’s order.

Every Muslim should pray from Allah in his hardships and also ask Allah for sabr in the form of dua. Here, I will tell you the patience dua in Arabic. You can make this dua a part of supplication after every prayer. This dua is 250 ayat of Surah Bakarah.
In this dua, we request Allah to give us sabr and give success to us on non-Muslims.

Allah takes different tests from His human being in different ways. He checks the sincerity of a man towards Allah. Or He checks if a man is sharing this with me or someone else? So, Allah takes different trails in different forms. Such as;

So, always take any loss positively, because in every work there is an expediency of Allah.
