I started saying this prayer, recently, Anjelica, and have found it a boon in stressful situations - and I'm even wondering if it's carrying over to situations when I didn't specifically pray it :
'Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.'
I took it from this prayer, which Padre Pio used to say every day for those who asked for his prayers :
Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
I. O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of...... (here name your request)
Our Father....Hail Mary....Glory Be to the Father....Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
II. O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of.......(here name your request) Our Father...Hail Mary....Glory Be To the Father....Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
III. O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away." Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of.....(here name your request) Our Father....Hail Mary....Glory Be to the Father...Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.
-- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

The other day, I found that when I tried to reverse my car into a parking space, to go to Mass. it seemed as if the handbrake was half on, but no, it wasn't that. Then I thought it seemed as if it could be that one of my tyres was flat, so I got out of the car to look. It was only after I'd checked and found that they were fine, that I spotted the words : 'DISABLED' on the road. I'd hate to have been fined or had the car towed away for something so foolish.
But even this morning I was puzzling over it, because, while I know the Lord obsesses over the lives and destinies of each one of us, at every single moment, 'like a mother hen, her brood' (each chickabiddy), He hasn't done anything as dramatically 'odd' like that that I can remember, over a relatively insignificant matter, when one considers the far greater dangers, trials and sufferings we all experience from time to time.
Reading on here about your predicament just now, it occurred to me that it might well have been in response to that prayer - or maybe boosted by my making the sign of the cross and a brief invocation of Our Lady's care, before I set off, but perhaps not the latter. I don't always do either or both. They had helped me, though, very recently to avoid a bad accident, after making a bad decision to overtake a truck at a T-junction. Every best wish for your happiness, asap, angelica, sweetheart.
