I’ve mentioned one of my very favorite prayers before–what is commonly referred to as St. Teresa of Avila’s Bookmark. There are very few prayers that give me peace when I’m deep in the Black Hole, and this is certainly one.

Let nothing disturb you,
nothing frighten you,
all things are passing.
Patient endurance
attains all things:
one who God possesses wants nothing,
for God alone suffices.
