Where do you keep a nice collection of meaningful prayers and quotes? This could be within Apple Notes or inside a paper notebook.

Figuring you may also find it inspiring:
O blessed Jesus,
Grant me stillness of soul in You.
Let your mighty calmness reign in me;
Reign in me, O King of gentleness, King of peace.
Give me control, great power of self-control,
Control over my words, thoughts, and actions.
From all irritability, lack of meekness, lack of gentleness,
O dear Lord, deliver me.
By your own deep patience, give me patience,
Stillness of soul in You.
Make me in this and all things more and more like You.
