I heard this prayer yesterday and really liked it, maybe you guys will enjoy it too.



God has created me, to do Him some definite service; He has  committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission - I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for nothing. Therefore, I will trust Him. Whatever, whereever I am. I cannot be thrown away.
Amen

Hi Jacki.  This was always my favorite from Cardinal Newman.  I used to say it to help me endure a job I hated!!!  Grin 
some more I recall:  ".. if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.  He does nothing in vain.  He may take away my friends, hide my future from me, make me feel desolate, still He knows what He is about."  (I've read different versions.)
