I recently read this prayer from Henri Nouwen's book, With Open Arms. This one may be a habit for a while:
Dear God,
I am full of wishes, full of desires, full of expectations.
Some of them may be realized, many may not,
but in the midst of all my satisfactions and disappointments,
I hope in you.
I know that you will never leave me alone and will fulfill your divine promises.
Even when it seems that things are not going my way,
I know that they are going your way
and that in the end your way is the best way for me.
O Lord, strengthen my hope,
especially when my many wishes are not fulfilled.
Let me never forget that your name is Love.
Amen.
Yes, Amen.
