This is a prayer I pray every day in a prayerbook I have, and I think anyone would benefit from praying it for whatever type of suffering they're going through, too...
"My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice of suffering pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will. If you do not will it to pass, then I accept to drink of it with love, obedient to Your will, and uniting it to the redemptive sufferings of Your Son, Jesus.
Mary, please help me in this my suffering. Intercede with your Spouse, the Consoler, that he may be close to me, giving me strength to bear my cross with love. Merciful Mother, I offer you all the merits of my suffering. I give you permission to use them in whatever way you will. May they be for God's greatest possible glory and the salvation of souls. Also, I ask you to remember my family and friends and the intentions I hold in the silence of my heart. (Pause to recall your intentions)..."
