I loved this passage in my morning meditational by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, a French Jesuit:

You will arrive at [peace] of mind without difficulty if you never lose sight of the great and consoling truth that nothing happens in this world but by the order of God or at least by his divine permission. Even that which most upsets our spiritual plans turns into something which is better for us. Remain firmly attached to this great principle and the most violent storms will be unable to disturb the depths of your soul, although they may agitate your emotions which are, as it were, its surface.
