Calm me, quiet me, settle me…
Steady me, balance me, ground me…
Plant me, root me, embed me…
Support me, sustain me, protect me…
Forgive me, pardon me, free me…
Refresh me, restore me, heal me…

This affirmation was recited often by Harriet Tubman, who had a strong belief in God, when she led slaves to freedom via the underground railroad in the United States in the mid 1800s:

Here is a short prayer suggestion from Mother Theresa:
“If you ever feel distressed during your day — call upon our Lady — just say this simple prayer: ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.’ I must admit — this prayer has never failed me.” –St Teresa of Calcutta
