Not sure if I should post this, but . . .

This morning a prayer formed on my lips and I found myself able to pray it, if only briefly. Perhaps someone who sees it here may benefit from it.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, Creator of all good things, Who today sends me pain that I might remember both my own weakness and the pain I bring to Thee and to others by my sins; may this pain impel me to true repentance, abundant good works and, by Thy grace, the opportunity to serve Thee in the life to come, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
