Here are some quotes and prayers which hale nourished me and may be helpful to you.

The Deer’s Cry

Christ be with me, Christ within me, 
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.             
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

From the early medieval prayer St Patrick’s Breastplate,
sometimes known as The Deer’s Cry

A Prayer of Longing

O Lord our God,
grant us grace to desire you with our whole heart;
that so desiring, we make seek and find you;
and so finding, may love you;
and so loving, may hate those sins
from which you have delivered us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

        St Anselm of Canterbury
