Prayer Practice: The Welcoming Prayer
The prayer of welcoming grace into things unwanted or uncomfortable resonates with the Welcoming Prayer, developed by Mary Mrozowski, a lay contemplative, and Thomas Keating, a Trappist Monk. This has been one my core prayer practices. Click the above link to learn more about the practice.
I also preached a sermon on the Welcoming Prayer a couple years ago. Find it at the link above.
